Back seats need to accommodate full size adults in the full size pickup market because there really aren't any other options besides a closed off SUV or simply forgoing the passenger capacity altogether.

I don't buy for a second that anybody but little people are comfortable in the back of a Prius. Wasted seats IMO.
This is exactly the kind of all-or-nothing thinking that results in people daily-driving pickup trucks in the first place. Because you're afraid you might someday come across a task your truck can't accomplish, you buy the biggest, tallest, fastest, thirstiest truck you can, and you just end up commuting in it anyway.

How bad would it be to have a front bench that seats three adults, and a rear bench that seats either two adults or three children?

But pickup truck should not be used to transport children. That's what cars are for.
