I suppose it depends on what you're used to. I've never found myself wanting to do these things, but I'm also strictly from a Python and C++ background so my standards are admittedly lower than Java and C# people. Hopefully gopls solves for these problems.

In C++, you have never tried to go to the definition vs declaration of a function? Or find calls to your class through a superclass?
