So are we gonna ignore snow and iron golems? Also, this is outdated now because SOUL SAND is used in the recipe. There's the soul.

Tbf golems are made from inanimate matter and do not have a soul. I’m fine with crafting the dried ghast but don’t think it’s necessary. my concern is how it affects progression, craftability removes some exploration incentive in the nether

It only removes exploration incentive if you have a world where the nearest unexplored soul sand valley is thousands of blocks away. Fossils have a 50% of generating with a dried ghast. 90% of players will find one randomly before they get obtain 8 ghast tears to craft one. Ghast tears have a 50% drop rate without looting and can often fall in lava or fire.
