With a number of caveats. You cannot reimplement arenas as the experiment did without special hooks into the runtime. https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/arena/arena.go

I have done the same; it's not natural to do it this way. Go should actually express an explicit mechanism to do this. When I did it, it felt exactly like trying to use epoll from Go: you can do it, it just feels like crap.
