I don't see Go running cortex-m level devices, atmega level devices. So no, it's really not.

  It seems you haven’t looked around. Go runs on both Cortex-M and AVR: https://tinygo.org/ https://tinygo.org/ AVR support is more of a work in progress than the Cortex-M support, but it does exist.

Performance requirements have a huuuuuuuuuge range and Go can't really be considered for extreme cases. Like the latest, hottest, prettiest video gamez in VR HDR 8K resolution

"resource constrained" is a very subjective interpretation. OP is talking about SIMD intrinsics and compiler micro optimizations. Go is definitely out.
