> Honestly Go seems to be over its honeymoon period and is probably a safe bet also

This. Go is an established technology by now. Plus, it is really, really easy to learn and get productive in...I mean, being accessible even to beginners was one of the design goals of the language. One can literally get to grips with its basics over a long weekend.

Yes. I was comfortable in Go in about a week. It lets you do most of the things you really need to do in a web backend without too much bother. The language is generally well behaved. There's no framework-of-the-week problem.

JavaScript/TypeScript/Node/React/etc is a treadmill.

There are some great web frameworks out there (gin, mux, echo, etc) but one of Go's strengths is that it's just as easy to stand up a server without them.
