eh... does this matter though? Go uses static linkage, you have to recompile your code when you update third party libraries anyway.

It can cause behavior changes. Especially around memory usage & gc.

That is not longer the truth for quite some time now.

Yes, Go uses static linking by default, but it also supports dynamic linking and also has a plugin concept built on top of it.
