I thought I heard that in heavy mode, with a large payload, reuse will not be possible?

There are different speculated mission templates, some will not be reusable.

Payload wise, Falcon heavy is smaller than what the saturn five could get to Low earth orbit, but Space X and other companies are working on things way bigger than Falcon Heavy.

T -46 until Falcon Heavy Launch.
