I haven't dug deep enough into C# to say this with certainty, but I believe later C# versions allows you to do enough manual allocation to "almost" get around the garbage collector. As well as new calls to try and nudge the GC away from hot paths.

You need to be very disciplined to pull this off, though. LINQ is basically off limits, for example. And of course, Godot's C# is likely much older than these modern techniques to begin with.

Godot's C# is fairly recent, C#12/.NET 8.

		Yes, as long as you're not using Godot 3.x. Some still use 3.x (Mono) because 4.x (.NET) does not support web exports.

		That's good to know. So it probably has the capability if you really wanted to dig in. But that effort on an active engine would quite a long time to comb through. Really comes down to if a highly invested contributor wants to push it through and gets the go ahead.
