Relevant quote from "GO TO statement considered harmful": "The remark about the undesirability of the go to statement is far from new. I remember having read the explicit recommendation to restrict the use of the go to statement to alarm exits, but I have not been able to trace it; presumably, it has been made by C. A. R. Hoare."

He doesn't explicitly say it, but it seems he agreed with that use of go to.
