Yes I see. But I think you mean allowing deadlocks
to happen and then resolving by backtracking is bad ?
I don't think "deadlock avoidance" costs, by which
I mean programming as such that deadlocks _never_ happen,

all resource before your thread starts, not that is in
any way achievable generally.
