You can build a much smaller 0 dependency binary in Rust/C so what's the value prop for Go here?

The single biggest silver bullet for provable bug reduction that has ever been invented: GC.

Perhaps the Rust burrow-checker will prove to be the second silver bullet for bug reduction, but for now, the only thing that has ever been invented in programming language design that provably reduces the amount of bugs in an application is having a GC (not types, not getting rid of null values, not monads or other HKTs, not CSP).

The value prop is it's not Rust or C?
Sounds like a sidegrade to be honest, not worth the massive bins
