I wasn't planning to add any project structure as this was a basic project. So, I went with GOPATH instead of Go modules.
But yes, you are right! modules are dramatically faster than GOPATH, and one should always consider them over GOPATH. Thank you for addressing.

Why create a workspace under GOPATH/src when you can use Go Modules?
