I recently attended a talk with Simon Ritter from Azul Systems that is developing Zing VM, and this VM is apparently gaining adoption among financial companies thanks to improved startup time and novel GC algorithms. Anyone with first hand production experience?

Yes. Used in production HFT system. Works as advertised.

But you should try the new J8 GC algos before you try a whole new VM

We use it at my job for our main api which needs lots of memory. I’m on the devops side and I don’t get into it much past the deployment of the app, so from my side it’s more of a hassle than openjdk since we have to deal with licensing.
