What is really needed is the ability to update variables in place.
Currently every mutation allocates a new value.
Wouldn't ref-counting actually help this?

You don't need to optimize with ref-counting if you don't
allocate new instances at all ;)
Sure, but if it's a case of re-implementing CTFE from the ground up, or
changing the memory allocator, which is easier to make happen first?
Seriously speaking from ignorance, I have no idea.
Note, I think Ref-counting will still help even when ++x doesn't allocate.
