That seems like a problem with gogol dropping support for relevant features, rather than with the semigroup change in particular. If you didn't want to keep up to date with the library more generally, the semigroup change in isolation could have been dealt with by forking the library in question. Which isn't to say this isn't still indicative of friction in the Haskell ecosystem when it comes to building a large system for production.
