Golang flattens the entire dependency tree into your vendor directory. It's still not that big. The current project I am working on has 3 direct external dependencies, which expands out into 22 total dependencies, 9 of which are golang.org/x packages (high level of scrutiny/trust). It's really quite manageable.
