Yes generics / templates are mostly useful for general libraries. But if you afraid of programmers doing stupid things just for the fuck of it it is better not to hire such programmers, warn them if they're juniors or just hit them with the bat on code review.

That could be said about any language though? Yet here we are, arguing whether generics are good for Go, instead of just using Java.

Correct. Go is not special in this regard
