A cistern is a good idea when supply is low but then you have to plumb it, add another pump, protect from freezing........
You can run a house with a wife and three daughters with 3 gal/min.
Most farmers can only dream of a 50 gal/min well.

Agreed.
My only point was from a pressure perspective. Sustained 15 or 50 is great...however there may be times or continued usage that draws it down and requires a rest period.
If you have a well like that a cistern for garden watering can be handy.
It is true...you would need to purge the system in the winter to prevent freezing.
