Speaking as a user of languages that have exactly this, it can’t possibly be any worse than the situation in Go right now.

Other languages have an additional zoo of language syntax besides generics to make monadic error handling bearable, which Go doesn't have.

It'll make it unmanageable by hiding complexity.
But more verbose? I'm not so sure.

Passing a single anonymous function is already more characters to type than if err != nil {}.

I can't see it myself, but happy to educate myself.
