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:

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!
