Is it typical for these frameworks to link to Google fonts in them? It seems like a privacy/tracking issue, or am I offbase?
It absolutely is, and if you do include them you have to show a consent popup in the EU.
This is a great example of how a font can really compliment the style you're going for. It fits so well that you hardly notice it at all.

The font doesn't seem that great to me. Not sure exactly why but while it's not quite difficult for me to read, it's not as easy as other common fonts.

That is a tremendously useful utility. Only annoyed they do not provide builds so I am going to have to install the Go tooling and/or re-implement my own half-baked version.
That’s a pretty unfair thing to get annoyed about when someone is providing you software for free. Worst case scenario, build it yourself inside on of the official Go docker containers.
No. Please don't put script fonts in uppercase. It's absolute death to readability. Actually don't put anything in uppercase - like underlining, it's a form of emphasis that has its origins in typewriters, which were locked to one typeface. The uppercase letterforms are too similar -- there is no variation in the heights of the letters, so your eye finds it harder to read. Upper and lower case, you have letters like…
However, in doing so, it also creates a distinctive style.
I think I like it.
When remote fonts are blocked, the text is rendered with Comic Sans. Not a good look.
