Definitely a problem in Go. It's still possible to embed resources in the binary but if you're talking about a lot of such resources, the resulting binary size can be an issue as well. Not to mention resources won't be available outside of the binary.
I don't think it is any more of a problem with Go than any statically compiled C/C++ binary.
You would still want to use chef, puppet, or some home rolled package deployment toolchain, if for no other reason than being able to ensure a consistent state and bring up new nodes quickly.
