Details

Due to bug 1376891, we will dispatch an idle runnable to do nursery collection.

I think the ideal way to maximize the usage of idle runnable is, investigate the runtime state then make decisions based on the length of idle time. For example, we can determine what kind of GC we should apply by evaluating how long we can run a collector. We may leverage the information of gcstats::Statistics and some heuristics to do so.
