Apologies for the delayed response. I'm not aware of any reason why it would not be considered as fully supported. I believe the (only?) reason it was marked as experimental in Go 1.14 was in case something needed to change significantly (such as the assembly syntax) - the port itself was stable and has only gained functionality and improved since then. The only assembly related change that probably should have occurred is the inversion of the register order for SUB (although that ship may have sailed by now). There are a handful of things that the port does not yet support (c-shared, plugin, internal cgo linking, etc), but most of these will not impact general usability. On the other hand, there are various projects that depend on having Go working on linux/riscv64, hence I would not expect it to become unsupported any time soon (as an aside, there were at least four different people who submitted changes/improvements to the port during the current development cycle).
