At Square, we typically wait until the first point release before updating the default version in our Go monorepo. Individual application owners are free to upgrade sooner. This time, we had some wiggles, so the Go team beat us to 1.22 before we could upgrade our default to 1.21 :-)

Waiting is more or less just customary at this point; Go releases seldom break things.

Benjamin Wester (whom I just found out reads this and saw my comment, so now I don't feel weird randomly mentioning by name!) is the true hero of our monorepo's upgrades.
