Does anyone really disable GC and get away with it?

I wouldn't be afraid of that. In the past months we had a sufficient
number of candidates caring about the memory consumption of their Emacs
sessions. An opt-out feature OTOH would get us soon a couple of people
who decide that your feature is responsible for some new slowness and
recommend to throw it out. So making this an opt-in feature and at the
same time giving some recommendations of what users can do when they
detect that their sessions consumes more memory than expected would be a
finely balanced solution IMO.
