I haven't checked, but I was under the assumption that AdoptOpenJDK
binaries have Shenandoah enabled. Isn't that the case?

I.e. this guy:
https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk12-binaries/releases/download/jdk-12%2B33/OpenJDK12U-jdk_x64_linux_hotspot_12_33.tar.gz

?

I will also investigate as soon as I get to it.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
