Yup. We've clearly benefitted- G1 and generational ZGC have large advantages over CMS- but it's a lot of experimentation and trial-and-error to get there, whereas other deprecations/removals are usually easier to resolve.

Isn't the default config correct for pretty much all workloads, unless you have very special requirements? Like, at most one should just change the target max pause time in case of G1, depending on whether they prefer better throughput at the price of worse latency, or the reverse.
