Minor nit, It's recommended to pin this to a git hash for supply chain security.
Renovate can also keep this up to date.

I appreciate the effort but I personally don't think it's useful to test on historical versions of Go at all, for multiple reasons:
- Only the most recent 2 versions are supported by the Go team, and I generally adhere to this policy too.
- The Go backwards compatibility promise is incredibly reliable.
The other changes seem reasonable.

My usual recommendation here is to update the go directive in the go.mod file to support the latest 2 releases. This way the matrix test matches. This is the policy we use for most of the Prometheus ecosystem.
This was initially part of #354 but I decided to create a separate PR, so it can be maybe merged sooner.
