I have had the luxury to work in projects that don't have to target many platforms, but rather "one": a server. Which then is often a simple linux variant so setting up a CI or even the local build to target that "one" is relatively simple. But wasn't Go a lot more limited in the amount of targets it can build for than rust?

Yes and no -- obviously I can build for no_std targets like esp32 and atmega128p in rust but not go (haven't tried tinygo), but the proportion of targets that successfully built and ran IRL has been higher for me with go. On rust, the dynamic linking of libc (by default) and failure to include a linker with the toolchain have repeatedly been stumbling blocks, go "just works."
