In general, I have a lot of sympathy for your concern--I've used Go and other languages with generics, and the difference is noteworthy. I personally think generics is worthwhile on balance, but I respect that others don't share this opinion. I'm glad you brought it up because most conversations about generics outside of the Go community pretend as though there is no tradeoff at all. That said, what sort of generics proposal would be sufficiently powerful (or perhaps that's not what you meant by "different from interfaces"?) to alleviate your concern? And note that this proposal is quite a lot more powerful than interfaces because interfaces aren't generic over multiple types, while contracts are.
