It usually needs a bit longer warmup period in my experience. But for long-running processes it can be ideal, Twitter for example uses it for quite some time in production.
Also, not every GC is available, or only in the enterprise version.
There are a lot of non-biased benchmarks you can find online, most of them showing that Graal (both CE/EE, though particularly EE) are more performant than OpenJDK.
You then also have the option to compile to native, or to embed/run code in other languages baked in.
It's a no-lose scenario IMO.
