Please have a look at `G1ParScanThreadState::remember_reference_into_optional_region` - G1 collects those references in an extra data structure when scanning an object after it has been copied in `G1ParScanThreadState` as it encounters those, and uses them as appropriate during optional evacuation.
Fwiw, I did not do any performance evaluation of that idea to completely avoid scanning during evacuation failure. I do not think it has significant impact though.
