I feel like this is wishful thinking. There is no way you can abstract away so many differences between languages for this to work effectively (or anywhere near as good as a tailor fitted refactoring engine to specific languages) IDEA does a lot of language specific stuff, it just unifies the UX. Which is what language servers aim anyway. BTW, I'm a long term user of powerline-go. Fantastic piece of software!

Yeah, but with IDEA I have the exact same functionality for Rust, Typescript or Java, while the language servers will never agree on the exact same functions being called the same and doing exactly the same. It means relearning your editor every time you switch your language. I realize I’m probably in the minority as a person who writes basically every project in another language, whichever happens to work best for the project, while most others probably use only a few languages for most of their career, but it’s still annoying.
