Go is definitely used for stuff that rivals their Rust/C++ etc. counterparts in terms of performance and general quality.
Caddy and docker pop right into my mind. I‘ve also seen databases, image processing and other nitty gritty systems programming related projects in Go.
People also love to write CLI apps in Go that do a lot of heavy lifting like esbuild or k6 etc.
The sweet spot for Go seems to be IO heavy programs. It allows for just enough control to get good performance for a lot of use cases that bleed into systems programming.
