I recently took someone else’s tool and migrated the panics to errors. How painful it is depends on the size and complexity of the codebase. Fortunately, this was a relatively small codebase written by—what looked to me—like someone who knew how to program but was unfamiliar with Go conventions. So I spent a couple hours getting rid of panics, and afterwards I was able to use the tools.
