Reopening since the workflow is still flaky

Seems to be permared for a while.

looks like we have an xlang test that runs with a 3hr time limit, passes on 3.12, fails on 3.8 after timing out after 2.5 hrs

[tvalentyn]

The failing test is GoUsingJava xlang suite, it is not using Python ; test passes on Python 3.12 because the 3.12 suite excludes the GoUsingJava xlang variant since we only need to run it for one Python version. It appears that GoUsingJava xlang scenario not working on some runners is a known issue.
cc: @Abacn @lostluck who can correct me if they disagree with the assessment.

[lostluck]

It's a known issue and it's also not a release blocker. The fact is we have spent very little time making Xlang for go robust and the people tasked with that move on. This is also not something that would be common for users, since they'd need to manually spin up the Python Portable runner.

[Abacn]

last time I checked this it was a few failing xlang tests, and now it's timing out, likely new issues accumulated, which is common for long permared tests unfortunately.

For the same reason agree to disable gousingjava part of the test, so other tasks can still be monitored
