It seems that systemd can take care of it, just in different fasion that most of deamons. It needs to be started without Type=forking due to this:

Because the Type=forking services expect the parent service to exit before the service has actually started. If the parent never exits, then systemctl start will not give you back a prompt because it doesn't think that it's done executing.

So very minimal systemd .service file will take care of your Go program. No need to think for it, it is magic.
