You didn't switch to an ergonomic keyboard. I do love good keyboard and your Goldtouch is a very good split keyboard. But it is not ergonomic.
You simply cannot have a (non-symmetric) staggered layout that is "ergonomic".
Real ergonomic keyboards are mostly symmetric: a Maltron or a Kinesys for example. Or a good split + matrix (symmetric) layout.
But a regular keyboard, no matter how good the keyswitch, like your keyboard or a Cherry MX-5000 or a IBM Model M15 (split) aren't ergonomic.
They're "less worse" than the typical keyboard in that they're split and they're easier to adapt to.
But you have to realize that your brain (just as mine) has been destroyed by years and years spent on typing on non-symmetric keyboard.
This makes zero sense from an ergonomist' point of view. Basically one half of your keyboard's rows are shifted "the wrong way". There's no logic to that and it's really bad.
For what it's worth: I'm on a HHKB Pro 2 + Aeron chair.
It's not perfect and it's not the most ergonomic, but it's not too bad either.
