This is my first time incubating goose eggs and I’ve already lost a couple. Does this egg look okay? I see veins, but no wiggly baby.
I’ve only ever incubated chicken eggs where you can see everything. This is day 11.

You have to remember that it takes longer to incubate a goose egg than a chicken egg. At 11 days a chicken is half way to hatching. At 11 days, depending on breed of goose, the egg is less than 1/3 of the way toward hatching. A goose egg will not show the same development at 11 days as your chickens.

That makes sense. Does the development in the pictures look okay?
 
I incubate a lot of goose eggs, and your egg looks fine at this point of incubation. Are you manually turning the eggs? And have you been monitoring the air cells or weighing the eggs to assess moisture loss?
