Nope, a better alternative is Java/C#/Kotlin/etc. Those offer sum types, async programming, while being more productive than golang, and provide superior tooling and a superior developer experience.

Why not Node? Or Typescript if you really have to have types? Or even plain old PHP/Ruby (for people that just use Go to build web backends) - doesn't Kubernetes kinda solve scaling?
