Does it generate the same extremely fat binaries? I've seen Go binaries get into hundreds of megabytes for things you could do with C/C++ with a few megabytes. Most of it seemed to be string tables and other things that could be reduced but not eliminated with compression.

A large part of that depends if we get something equivalent to gc's scheduler or not. Concurrency is still under development. Most likely it will take a simpler approach, like tinygo, which won't require tons and tons of code.
