Prominence 2 Server Optimizations

I'm currently using the Oracle free cloud instance to host a modded MC server for Prominence 2 (1.20.1) using this server pack: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/prominence-2-rpg/files/5473716/changelog

The instance is running on VM.Standard.A1.Flex with:
- OCPU count: 4
- Network Bandwidth: 4Gbps
- Memory: 24gigs

I'm looking for any specific optimizations I can make since the server begins to drop tps when more than 5-7 people are in the server at once.

So far I've done the following:
- Installed GraalVM EE 22.3.5 for JDK 17 (heard the performance is much better)
- Lowered view and simulation distance in ther server.properties
- Used the following JAVA_ARGS:
-Xms22G -Xmx22G --add-modules=jdk.incubator.vector -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+AlwaysActAsServerClassMachine -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:AllocatePrefetchStyle=3 -XX:NmethodSweepActivity=1 -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=400M -XX:NonNMethodCodeHeapSize=12M -XX:ProfiledCodeHeapSize=194M -XX:NonProfiledCodeHeapSize=194M -XX:-DontCompileHugeMethods -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:+UseFastUnorderedTimeStamps -XX:+UseCriticalJavaThreadPriority -XX:+EagerJVMCI -Dgraal.TuneInlinerExploration=1 -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=16M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=3 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=10 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=0 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 -XX:G1SATBBufferEnqueueingThresholdPercent=30 -XX:G1ConcMarkStepDurationMillis=5.0 -XX:G1ConcRefinementServiceIntervalMillis=150 -XX:G1ConcRSHotCardLimit=16

As recommended from both here and Aiker's.

Here is a spark profiler view from when people begin joining the server (older with slightly different flags): https://spark.lucko.me/jrpKdoI888
The minor tweaks I've made since have not helped much.

Ideally, I would like to host up to 10 people at once with little issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
