I'm not saying I disagree but for a lot of businesses (even one with relatively high traffic) it is not unheard of to deploy with almost no tuning of the GC (aside from setting a heap min / max of 2,4,8GB) and have no issues.

I'm sure this all depends on use-cases, but I'll chime in to agree. I work on web services that do high (not Google high, but you've-heard-of-it high) levels of traffic, we run on the JVM, and GC pauses are not something that cause us to lose any sleep using out-of-the-box settings + explicit heap min/max.
