Hey, in terms if it's worth or not, it's a rather personal question. How much you like Go and wanna work with it or do you just wanna add another skill to enhance your employability.
I pretty much learnt Go reading the Effective Go (https://go.dev/doc/effective_go). If you are an experienced software engineer that understands well programming, the fundamentals which are language agnostics, it's more about learning the particularities of the new language. When I changed to my 1st Go job, I had no formal Go experience and I still joined as a Sr engineer. I believe the market for Laravel/PHP and Go are quite different. So again, if you're looking just for a skill to add, considering the market is a good thing. But if you like Go and want work with it, go for it.
