Multiple error wrapping is coming in Go 1.20
The only remaining use-case I see here looks like https://github.com/uber-go/multierr , maybe useful in concurrent scenarios. But on my side this is rather anecdotical, and anyway already addressed by a well documented and tested third party.

Return multiple dependent errors in Go?
There are a few libraries that solve this problem. One is https://github.com/uber-go/multierr , another https://github.com/hashicorp/go-multierror . They have similar APIs and are pretty easy to use. If you don't want to import another library, it's pretty easy to do something similar yourself, inspired by them. 😊
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-xerrors and multierr you can also consider the following projects:
errors - Simple error handling primitives
go-multierror - A Go (golang) package for representing a list of errors as a single error.
errors - clear go error wrapping with caller
go - The Go programming language
eris - Error handling library with readable stack traces and flexible formatting support 🎆
