Does your usage pattern make your Emacs sessions grow to include many
open files (not necessarily displayed), like more than a hundred?

I'm curious, because I assumed that global-auto-revert-mode would be
impractical for "serious" use because it makes Emacs poll the freshness
of every buffer's file repeatedly, which could lead to occasional "short
freezes" and other annoying performance artifacts.
