There's nothing wrong with a goose, per se, but yes, I'd say just wait until you get your pipes. Besides, once you have your pipes, you can cork the drones off at the stock and use either a lot of hemp, or an adaptor, to make a goose with your practice chanter and pipe bag, if you want to.
I had a fairly traditional piping education, and I can't recall that I ever used a goose.
"To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning, and seven generations before. At the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley with old folks of old affairs." - Neil Munro
