Thanks for working on this.

+(defcustom go-ts-mode-test-args nil
+  "List of extra args for the Go test commands."
Should we call this `go-ts-mode-test-flags' instead?
That seems to be the parlance golang uses, and there is an official
`-args' that go test supports that has a specific behaviour:
        -args
            Pass the remainder of the command line (everything after -args)
            to the test binary, uninterpreted and unchanged.
            Because this flag consumes the remainder of the command line,
            the package list (if present) must appear before this flag.

+  (compile (format "go test %s -v %s -run '%s'"
+                   (string-join go-ts-mode-test-args)
With the above in mind, we may want to move the %s to the absolute
end so that -args could be used without catastrophe.

This will also need a commit message and a NEWS entry.
