Mostly agree except for code-gen --- definitely not so in the real world! I'd say most Gophers on the whole at a minimum don't mind it, and many either outright ---or eventually--- embrace it.
Depends on the nature and purpose(s) of the Go code-base but for many, it's as natural and idiomatic as is the extensive use of the macro preprocessor for many-perhaps-most grown, matured, "non-trivial" C code-bases. (Just fewer pitfalls in exchange for a bit more set-up effort.)
