Where we are, Auburn, CA, Placer County, ADU's have much less in fees and permits required to build. Additionally, the County is required to approve those plans within 12 months- so the whole process is cheaper and quicker. However, we have a minimum residence size requirement on a lot of 2,400 sq. ft. for a primary residence before they will consider an ADU on a property.
All that aside, I think 800 sq. ft. is perfectly livable for a couple. I would make all 800 sq. ft. as living space and have unconditioned space for laundry, pantry, and a mechanical room for typical HVAC, water heater, etc.
