I don't know much about ARC, but generally speaking you won't want to use any sort of garbage collector is the audio thread. That being said, it seems that ARC is a compile time thingy. If so, then no problem I guess. And it seems it only work for Objective-C anyway, which you probably won't use much in audio processing code.
It will likely require a newer Xcode/Clang version, which might be why this wasn't a good option a few years back, when most of us were still running Xcode 3.x/GCC.
