Golems traditionally are artificial humans (men made of clay.) created by humans.
so assuming the same holds true for the golems in this series were they made by humans as well? what are the chances that he could get repaired? i'm assuming the hard deadline of thousand years is because there power source expires. couldn't they replace it?

“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus

i could see golems doing well against poorly armed opponents, but guns exist in this series as does magic. we have yet to see how well he handles those kinda obstacles

Magic exists but not on a level that would allow wartime use. We're only shown the golem and the witches using it. The witches being a race of scholars wouldn't have been likely to take part in the conflict.
Guns and magic exist in a way so vague in the series that I can't really say which race has access to each freely. However the Golem kind of trumps any witch in combat. AFter we see what he's capable of around chapter 32 in the manga. Or you know by how he killed the fish with almost zero effort while the witchers a race of magic users btw. We effectively powerless to stop it.

Actually, the newest chapters 35,36 ad 37 shows us that human can use magic or at least a form of it
Sakura, a young woman and the descendant of Miya, the human girl who befriended Isolde is shown using a magical sword called the "tomoshibi no ken" (sword of light). It is a sword which normally takes form of a sword hilt, but when activated can create a blade of flame that was said to be able to cut through anything. The blade itself was recorded inside one of the witches books and is regarded as famous human artifact from a long time ago. Meaning that Humans aren't as weak as previously presumed. Sakura herself is a powerful fighter and is a very capable swordswoman. Using the sword she easily cuts through a gigantic female grotesque without any trouble. There are only 2 in existence and she gave one to Somali. But of course, not anyone can manifest the blade and obviously, Somali currently can't. Honestly, there's still a lot we don't about humans in Somali-verse

Can you explain that in a way that makes it sound less like an asspull like the golems super Saiyan transformation?
Also if humans can manifest magic that powerful. Surely during the war, there would be some effort to replicate its effects in normal humans or at the very least train them in aspects of magic that would increase their combat effectiveness to put them on around the same level as one of the other races. So why didn't that happen?

I don't know how else to explain, really, because that's how it is right now. Due to the series being on hiatus since last year, we're stuck in a cliffhanger ending for chapter 38. Sakura herself is still a mystery and so is her having the sword of light.
Mind you, she's not strong because of the sword alone, she's a trained warrior as observed by Leigle, the red-haired witch from the witches village, who is currently travelling with Somali and co. Also, the newest arc revealed another important fact:
the creatures can mate with a human, as shown in a half-human half-beast girl who is being auctioned at a high price in the island our protagonists is currently in."
Honestly there's still a lot of question about human-grotesque relationship in the series. I really hope the series will come out of hiatus soon, because I'm really curious about the current arc's story. I'm hoping Sakura will joined Somali and become a big-sister figure to her.
Also, the Golem himself has been questioning what he really is after his transformation. He admits that the only thing he could remember is suddenly knowing
he was tasked to protect the forest, the knowledge of floras and faunas and maintaining the balance of nature. Hopefully, there will be a revelation someday about the nature of the Golems.

What do you mean hopefully?
If the series doesn't get canceled there will be.
Chances are we'll get a character to give an expisotroy and drawn out explanation of what the golem is.
Judging from the title of the series, the duty of the golems (or at least the protagonist one) and their predetermined lifespan, it seems to me like they're divine guardians of nature created by some deity or deities of the world of the story.
