While the talk was quite interesting, I think the presenter might have left a few points out to stress his message.
Static compilers can achieve optimizations similar to dynamic compilation with help of Profile Guided Optimizations, so in many cases it is enough to have test runs with the common datasets used by the application to generate enough information for a second compilation with PGO.
The second issue regarding warming up the applications can be solved by making use of an AOT compiler for Java code, assuming the set of classes used remain static for the whole lifetime of the server. Which tends to be quite common actually.
