+1 the only thing that's "surprised" me between Go releases has been their changes to build flags in 1.18, and gofmt takes care of that anyway. Now that I think of it, gofmt changes if you have autoformatting enabled is probably the only "breaking" change that might happen between minor releases, but I haven't seen any issues with this from 1.15 through 1.18. In any case, if gofmt changes are disruptive enough to block upgrading, then a team has some deeper-seated issues in how they ship.
