My company has a need for a well-supported, robust, and complete implementation for reading and writing ical format data. Our system is mostly Go on the back end, but there is no viable ical library for Go. We have identified a high-quality ical library written in JavaScript that we can run as a microservice in nodejs, or we can attempt to write our own.

Why would nodejs not be the right option in our case?

I am not very experienced but saying there is no good reason to use X language based on 1 test seems short-sighted. Surely there must be other benefits that tip the scale to some degree.

Oh brother.
