I think it's more-or-less accepted that most extraordinarily accomplished people remained single throughout their lives. Intuitively it makes sense, though it doesn't mean you can't become greatly successful even with family commitments.
Off the top of my head, I can think of at least two people who are very successful and prolific, who also have several children.

Writers are the most common counter-example I can think of for this. There were many prolific, successful writers who had multiple children.
