try-catch will impact your performance only if you actually throw exceptions.
Examples:

  1. Performance loss when exception is thrown: jsperf.com/try-catch-performance-jls
  2. No performance loss if no exception is thrown: jsperf.com/try-catch-performance-j...

Conclusion:
I'm not saying that you should not use try-catch at all, but like in the examples above actually throwing an exception can be easily avoided.
