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.
common - Developer tooling framework
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.
