Anyone working in the low latency/interactive field, including 
game developers, will tell you the same things: GCs are bad, you 
need to prepare ahead of time, and you should reuse your buffers 
and objects.

Although there are many counter-examples that fully utilize the 
GC, it's generally minimized because the majority of the work is 
done in C, C++, or Rust.

The general rule, which applies to both malloc and GC, is to 
avoid allocating unless absolutely required.
