Modern GC can provide deterministic pauses (see Azul's pauselss GC, and various real-time Java GCs).

I think so. Consider modern servers with plenty of cores and plenty of RAM. The only way to make efficient use of that RAM is to store as much program data in it as possible, and the only way to provide really efficient access to all that data is without forcing sharding, and the only way to do that is with GCs.
