I have same opinion on react and after trying sveltekit I was really surprised how simple front end could look like. Now I can't even use anything except svelte and it's kinda sad but man it feels right for frontend.
Have you tried GIN trigram(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/pgtrgm.html CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING GIN (t gin_trgm_ops);) and GIN fulltext search indexes(CREATE INDEX textsearch_idx ON pgweb USING GIN (textsearchable_index_col);) ? As far as I know after applying those indexes on full text search columns you can search as fast as in Elastic because those indexes are built same way as in Elastic.
Search for "Project managment". There is "Product management" which sounds similar but it's a bit different: project manager talks with developers and manages task complition while product manager talks to product owner(and other business people) and team lead and manages product money making and overall future strategy.
For IDE you can try goland(which is Intellij Idea for go).
For replacing shell scripts go should be fine. It's closer to C than Java, so you will often write "if err!=nil" which is not a problem actually. Go feels like C with Hashmaps and simplified threading.
