The advantages of a typical GC are that it avoids the development costs of manual memory management, and it allows high throughput. The main disadvantage is usually latency spikes. Using this feature decreases maximum latency spikes by orders of magnitude, with only a small cost in cognitive burden and throughput. If without this feature GC might have been a good tradeoff if not for latency, there is only a sliver of design space in which using this feature would push the throughput out of acceptable bounds. (And cognitive burden is still way lower than any other form of memory management.)
