For network glue, Go is a wonderful and super useful language. Not just in how efficient it is, or how easy FFI calls are, but also in how easy it is to deploy.
I don't see Go replacing anything that isn't a lightweight server or really small data processing script, though. Anything Tensorflow or numpy of any notable complexity will probably remain Python afaict.

The key question is how many lines of code would Kubernetes have if Go was an expressive language, but I don't have big hopes for a hypothetical Go 2.0.
