Check the mono compatibility guide.  All the async stuff, except for ASP.Net, has stabilized and is well supported, since ... I'm not sure when ...  But I know it wasn't stable in 2.10 when you tested it, and it is stable now.  I also know if you had checked the compatibility guide in the days of 2.10, it would indicate async was not yet stable.  Familiarization with the compatibility guide and the class status guide is an important part of cross-platform development for .Net and mono.

I have not had any reason to tweak the GC, but if you post questions here about it (start a new thread) other people here are experts on GC and can answer your questions.
