I highly recommend trying out Java 11. G1 got quite a few improvements since 8.

In particular full GC is parallel since 10: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/307

Thanks, trying out is not an option for so many things. It is up to vendors to decide which JVM to recommend and I cannot overrule them. As of personal use, I am on 11.
