Thanks for the explanation!  Is there a way for me to update the
locally installed packages (shfmt and its dependencies in this
example) without installing additional dependencies which weren't
initially installed?

You need to target the package you want to update; go get -u 
mvdan.cc/sh/cmd/shfmt<http://mvdan.cc/sh/cmd/shfmt>.

When you use “all” or “./…” or similar there is no way for the Go tool to know 
that you don’t want to update and build other things that were fetched as part 
of the original command.

However, Rafal Jeczalik wrote a tool to figure out where binaries came from and 
update them. This might be what you’re looking for:

For updating dependencies of a thing as part of your development cycle, go get 
-u in that package should do it.
