Yeah that is true, any "tarp-tent" is going to be made of silnylon.
70D also adds quite a bit of weight, I think 30D is a good compromise between lightweight and still maintaining excellent waterproofness.
For tarp purposes I've never really experienced any problems with it even in torrential downpours, but haven't done coastal weather.
I think the most important thing aside from the material, is the way you pitch the tarp.
Even if you have the best tarp in the world, if you set it up ghetto style, it's not going to do its job properly.
Also, derp... it's not polyurethane coated, it's just silicone impregnated nylon. Pretty much the best material for a tarp, but damn it's not cheap unless you make your own.

A lot of tent companies will coat a SIL on one side with PU for the extra waterproof protection. :o

We like to be comfortable when we go camping so opted for two of these Standing Room 100 tents. www.standingroomtents.com
