I think not.

I am pretty sure that this change to the boot would qualify the Mark 7 Golf as being in rare, if not exclusive, company indeed: cars that have less usable boot space in a successor model.
How often would a car owner need to utilise 100% of the available boot space vs relative comfort of passengers due to increased cabin space?
I would hazard a guess that the majority of owners/passengers appreciate the extra room far more than they would the extra boot space for 1 or 2 times a year.

As Damien pointed out, if boot space is that essential, you can buy the golf/octavia wagon or the Tiguan.
