If you flip this condition, you can return early and reduce the nesting level of the following code.

if numFailed > threshold {
    return f.hardFailTask(ctx, logger, worker, task, numFailed)
}
numWorkers, err := f.numWorkersCapableOfRunningTask(ctx, task)
...

I'm assuming that 1 is because this worker hasn't been registered as failing this task yet, and thus is still counted. If this is indeed the case, it should be mentioned in a comment, as it's not entirely obvious from glancing at the code. Or maybe I'm wrong, and then there should definitely be a comment that explains where the 1 comes from ;-)

Also it's better to use numWorkers <= 1 here, as this should also hard-fail if there are zero workers left to run this task. Given that it's a very asynchronous system, there could be other factors that we just don't see right now here in this part of the code, that could lead to unexpected results.
