Assuming those libraries do not do allocations of their own negating all the efforts.

That's right. Java libraries even within JDK are notorious for unnecessary allocations and locks (which also do allocations for queues) putting GC pressure. C-like java means the need to roll out your own or using libraries like Chronicle.

I imagine that the other libraries would be used only on the non-critical parts of the application.
