Unless you do some hard real-time barebone stuff it is quite 
likely you can do with limited usage of GC. Hiring some of 
experienced D user to make a one-time case study with detailed 
recommendation can be an option if you are seriously concerned.

vibe.d has -version=VibedManualMemoryManagement which removes 
much of GC usage from its internals. Not 100% @nogc but some 
entry point to start with for interested parties.

Here Don mentions some of techniques we (Sociomantic) use to 
minimize GC impact : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmE7ZR1_YKs

In the end it comes to famous Bjarne quote : "C++ may be the best 
language for garbage collection because it generates so few 
garbage". Same can be applied to D with proper coding style.
