At least for Unity, the actual problem lies in IL2CPP and not C#. I have professionally used C# in real-time game servers and GC was never a big issue. (We did use C++ in the lower layer but only for the availability of Boost.Asio, database connectors and scripting engines.)

Unity lets you use either IL2cPP (AOT) or Mono (JIT). Either way it will use Boehm GC which is a lot worse than the .NET GC. If your game servers weren't using Unity then they are using a better GC.

Yeah, we rolled our own server framework in .NET mainly because we were doing MMOs and there were no off-the-shelf frameworks (including Unity's) explicitly designed for that. In fact, I believe this is still mostly true today.
