metatar
Manipulate tar file metadata, list tar files or convert tar to cpio. For some projects, this can replace fakeroot and cpio, when creating an initrd image that is compatible with the Linux kernel. Used in production in at least one company. (by xyproto)

File Integrity and checksums
go-mtree can take care about it. It calculates files hashes and you can use it to compare it later.
-
Monitoring files for changes and corruption
There is old unix utility called 'mtree' (there also is fully binary static compatible with mtree version on github go-mtree ) to check integrity of files. Another solution is - ZFS that do it dynamically
-
Creating a file with the name as the hash of another file
There is FreeBSD utility called mtree that also ported to Linux systems, that walk specified filesystem and creates hashes for all found content which later can be used to check integrity against corruption/modification. If your distribution of choice doesn't have ported version of mtree, you can use multiplatform version go-mtree that replicate the same workflow

Checking backup integrity
There is standard utility for integrity testing mtree) that ported to linux too. Also there is multi platform version of upstream written in Go (read works everywhere from one single file) that called go-mtree

Apart from using exec.Command, is there a better way to check version of any external system app in /usr/local/bin like fzf or nodejs using go?
SHA1 is dead, and there is a better dedicated tool mtree(8) for such tasks (which by the way exists as implementation in Go as go-mtree ) but I believe OP wants to check versions (like fzf --version) not an integrity of files
What are some alternatives?
When comparing metatar and go-mtree you can also consider the following projects:
common - Location for shared common files in github.com/containers repos.
gluetun - VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.
common - Developer tooling framework
HedgeDoc - HedgeDoc - Ideas grow better together
afs - Abstract File Storage
