Yuan, why was this change made?  The fact that loading go-ts-mode.el
without a grammar library causes a warning is the intended behavior:
users who don't have tree-sitter setup for Go shouldn't load this
mode, and if they do, they should know it failed, and why.  The above
change makes it fail silently, which is not a Good Thing.

What was the problem you were trying to solve?

The subsequent change, viz.:

made this even worse: now we have a byte-compilation warning in a
build without tree-sitter, and this code will signal a generic error
(whose text is not very helpful to users) if the file is loaded in a
build without tree-sitter.  This is all against the intended behavior
of these modes.

Again, what problem were you trying to fix with that change?
