The quote from Cox is "open-source software projects need to explore new telemetry designs that help developers get the information they need to work efficiently and effectively" which does not mention project size.

I'm guessing he implicitly means "larger open source projects" but his statement reads like an imperative that naturally asserts that telemetry be part of any open source project.
It was not long ago that people here had kittens because MS was adding telemetry to VSCode. My personal belief is we are far to subject to tracking as it is and there seems to be little justification to adding it to the go command line tools. At least in my opinion.

(E.g. comment from December 15th about the telemetry - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-161792005 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-1... - VS Code was only 8 months old.) Atom had forced-choice telemetry (unsure of the default) also since first release. It sucks a lot! But you won't have any luck pushing back on it by appealing to norms.
