This is something I want to experiment with now. Still waiting on
approval of the TArrayHelper sort merge request though before I start
playing around with reference counts.
Just want to clarify something... if a type is managed, can it be safely
typecast to a pointer in all instances and on all platforms? (The
purpose being so if I wanted to swap two items, so there's no overall
change in the reference counters, I can simply swap the pointers...
there's no dereferencing involved!)

Probably not unless FPC has something similar to
https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/System.IsManagedType
(that function among a few others is compiletime evaluated).
It's supported since 3.2.0:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.2
And now it is also documented. Tomorrow on the daily docs...
Michael.
