Can't say anything about Java or C# but one of the reasons we use Go is because the requirements change often and you can adapt your code quickly.

At the same time our code (my main field is systems integration) is required to keep running obviously. New requirements should not change this fact.

So on a spectrum I'd say Go is 7/10 OPS. Subjectively.

Obviously Go probably is not the type of language you should chose for your MVP or prototyping. Unless you are sure you have a full picture in your head already.
