Could anybody provide some more info: are Go rpm macroses not
fully backported to RHEL8 currently? Any kind of blockers, perhaps?
Unfortunately, while the Go-specific logic of the macros is quite release-agnostic, they depend on some common code in redhat-rpm-config that did not make it to EL8. The way @rh freezes common tooling at the start of an EL release inherently conflicts with languages like Go which are still fast evolving and requiring changes not fossilized a decade ago.
And it would be quite hard to both froze initial EL implementation in stone and provide parallel updates (modularity & containers only work for leaf features not core shared low level code)
Though if anyone is willing to go down this particular rabbit hole, I will provide support and answer questions. From very very very far away :)
