I appreciate the sophisticated and math conscious discussion here. For those reading this thread in the future, I note the state of the art in Go at the moment seems to be this arbitrary precision decimal library created by the CockroachDB guys for APD standard/postgresql conformance. Note that arbitrary doesn't mean infinite, it means you can pick the precision your application needs.
