TL;DR Summary

In what condition and how galvanized steel is lower mechanical performant

In what condition and how definitively galvanized steel is lower in mechanical performance and counts to be ruled out replacing high carbon steel ?

That's pretty generic. Can you elaborate a little on your project, its needs and application?

You can galvanize high carbon steel.

Zinc coatings are employed where electrical conductivity is required, but galvanized steel is electrochemically reactive in the environment and will be consumed. Epoxy paint, or a powder coat, is not as reactive as zinc, and will now protect an item for longer than a sacrificial zinc coating.
