I personally wouldn't go that far. If you know well, it makes sense to use it, but you already know Java or Go, would the benefit delta isn't going to be that high.
Somewhat famously, even Anders Hejlsberg decided to use Go vs .NET for the new Typescript compiler. .NET is fine (and I have personally used it a lot) but that doesn't mean it is net better than other options out there.
