I don't think it's recommended right now. See discussion here:

- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47788#issuecomment-1019562695
- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47788#issuecomment-1258773167

Summary:

It sounds like due to the way the compiler can optimize code (e.g. 
inlining), `buildmode=shared` is not recommended, but in the future they 
are looking at allowing linking against a single shared library.
