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.
