Agreed Parthenon is a great variety for high tunnels, my only problem is they never last all season. I pick for a long season, but I plant other plantings outside the tunnels. Other parthenocarpic varieties I have tried and also grow, Perfect Pick and Cavali ( a light green zucchini, good flavor and very crisp even raw). I have been growing the parthenocarpic varieties for 5 years now, even outside the tunnels and I am very happy with them and I don't have to worry about pollination all the time.
This is Parthenon, I direct seeded these into a movable tunnel in early August and I was harvesting in 30 days. There are 5 rows, 1 foot between plants about 150 plants in here. Kinda tight, but you can really produce bunches of zucchini!

Parthenon, a parthenocarpic green zucchini, might be a solution for you
guys. The seeds are 4x the price of other hybrid, though. It did work
fine for me last season in a hoophouse. Zucchini all season long from a
single planting, with practically no reject.
