I'll be iterating over a single property in parallel. For example computing all normal vectors for the faces.

Thanks for you suggestion on garbage collection. I'll try to ensure that if items are removed that the garbage is collected.

What do you want to do? iterator over properties in parallel
or over one property in a parallel loop?

In the former case, not pb.
In the latter case, you need an integer range IIRC with OpenMP.
So in the case of Surface_mesh it is possible only if the mesh
has no garbage (otherwise the simplex incides are not contiguous).
