So long as zgc in jdk11 is continually maintained by the community, it may not be a bad idea
to enable it on one more arch provided that the risk is acceptable after code review.  Otherwise, we are on our own.  
Users are much conservative when it comes to migrating to a new jdk version.  Also they have their own decision about which GC policy to use.
