I would agree with that.

Most Eu programs store 32-bit addresses in atoms, ie 64-bit floats, so
you could not use "off-the-shelf", tried and tested C code, it must be
rewritten.

Are you avoiding all the reference count inc/decrements possible, eg
by checking for parameters which aren't actually modified? I
understand this may not be possible once routine_ids get involved.

If you switch to GC, then won't passing a large table to a routine be
much more expensive?
