In my opinion, it's great for web app backends as well. The net/http library suffices.

Just that you might need a library for routing like https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter

Yes - that part of the server code is great in Go. I use go-chi.

Gorilla Mux isn't bad either and is pretty tried and tested.

Also Go is one of the few (if not only?) languages with HTTP/2 built in to the standard library. Not to mention the gRPC over TLS that comes stock as well.
