Choosing Hashicorp go-plugin in 2023?

For some reason, the act of choosing a plugin mechanism for our new project has been presented in my head a dilemma. Not a clear winner between the built-in stuff (plugin stdlib), the boring but battle tested option (Hashicorp go-plugin [1]) and the new exciting shiny ("future proof?") object web assembly plugins [2]

I ended up choosing the "traditional" Hashicorp library but any feedback, or comments on why you might think I am making a terrible mistake would be appreciated :)
