No, probably this is much less worrying as you think.
Take a look as the documentation of sync/atomic:
"These functions require great care to be used correctly.
Except for special, low-level applications, synchronization
is better done with channels or the facilities of the
sync package."
The package itself says "do not use me", so just don't.
If a sticker on something reads "Hot! Do not touch!" then
sensible people just don't touch. They do not worry whether
to touch or not; they are happily not-touching.
