By 'non-optimal results' do you mean heap fragmentation?
If so then yes that's a major concern with dynamic memory allocation in real-time environments. These systems must be designed to run continuously for years at a time and have limited memory, so any allocator that causes non-zero heap fragmentation is right out.
There are allocators that don't do that. One way is to use a pool allocator which allocates fixed-size blocks. Since all blocks are the same size, fragmentation can't occur.
