Really cool @Sergio0694 👍. I love work to minimize on unnecessary allocations. I am curious about switching from Unsafe.Unbox<T>(box) from what I read, it seemed pretty efficient.

I am curious what the difference is here.

In theory the codegen should be identical, but this version has a better IL encoding which should help with scenarios such as R2R when using crossgen (which has some inlining limitations with method calls), as well as cases where the indirect load might cause stack spills or just not be optimized best by the JIT (especially on older runtimes).
The difference is that the previous version basically invoked that generic Unsafe.Unbox<T> and then issued a ldobj !!T instruction to dereference that T& value on the stack, whereas the second is simply resolved into a single unbox.any !!T opcode, which is the same being used by normal unbox operations. This change is mostly just a precaution to help crossgen and the JIT to always produce the most optimal codegen possible, it has no actual functional changes.
If you're interested, I made a small repro you can check out (here) - you can see that the asm x64 codegen is exactly the same on .NET Core 3.1, but if you switch to the IL tab you'll be able to see that different encoding I mentioned 😊

I see, that's pretty cool (the change and sharplab.io). Thanks @Sergio0694 😃
