For example, by the time of Fedora 45; Fedora Rawhide, Fedora 45, and Fedora 44 would have 1.27. I would rather not apply this to the current stable releases to avoid unnecessary mass rebuilds and issues.

I am of two minds on this.

As a maintainer of a Go application (syncthing), this might make my
life a *little bit* easier, though ... not that much:
syncthing is also built for EPEL, which also lags behind the latest
stable version of Go - though less bad than Fedora "oldstable".
So it would make things a bit easier in Fedora, but not across Fedora
*and* EPEL.
Or would you coordinate shipping the Go minor updates with when they
are also pushed out in RHEL minor versions? 🙃

On the other hand, I've frequently seen Go compiler updates
introducing new bugs, new lints / vet things that break compiling
existing packages.
Pushing these compiler updates to stable releases frequently might be
more disruptive than we'd like :(
