I have found that using smart pointers is almost all that is needed to
develop a leak free application. The circular pointers issue is
normally very easy to design around.
If you can't implement an application that works without garbage
collection, you won't be able to implement one with. In the old
days, I've even implemented complex applications fully in
assembler.
On the other hand, it's a lot less work if you have the
appropriate tools. Garbage collection reduces the amount of
code I have to write, and so reduces how much it costs to
develop the working application. Given that the Boehm collector
is readily available and easy to use, it would be stupid not to
use it when you can. (I don't use assembler today, either,
unless I have to.)
