At least as of 2024 [1], V relies heavily on a GC for memory management, so I wouldn't really call it low-level.

V's GC can be turned off. V's libraries do not rely on the GC. Check out their Vinix[0] project (where they built an OS). They have other such projects.
Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V[1][2], where the reviewers are not just stirring up drama with their community or funneling traffic to their site.

If you turn off the GC you need to manage memory manually, like in C. That is not "Memory safe".

Is anything I said factually wrong?
