> that _is_ essentially the Go team's take these days

It is not "essentially their take". It is one of the point (a weak one for what my opinion is worth) but far from their main point. Their main point from the text is the same point they always make in these cases:

> Coming up with a new syntax idea for error handling is cheap; hence the proliferation of a multitude of proposals from the community. Coming up with a good solution that holds up to scrutiny: not so much.

> the goal is to have hordes of the cheapest possible juniors kitted out with tools that let them produce the most amount of code per dollar

I share the same concern here. I don't have a solid opinion on how that will turn out but I'm not too optimistic.
