In its own niche is the important point here. Just because writing a kernel or system utilities can be done in Go doesn't mean it should be. Go isn't even totally stable or feature complete on Plan 9 at this point. You get the same shit in C on Plan 9 as you do Go plus it's more stable and has better support.
At this point I would say keep using C unless you have some specific need to use Go on Plan 9.
