I believe that Steve of FNPS still has 750 sq. ft. Of grass on an 11,000 sq. ft. Lot. At least that is what he told me. Florida Friendly Landscaping examples published in their book all show grassy areas surrounded by plants. I do not know why this is, I too would prefer NO GRASS. Zoysia grass doesn't get very green and the story about it requiring less water is a fable, per my experience.
