Maybe it is just because I had finished reading Terry Prachett's novel Feet of Clay yesterday, but golems in my mind ought to be constructed in a bit more elaborate fashion and not involve pumpkins at all.
Perhaps you make all the armor slots out of clay, then combine those armor bits with some sort of power source to create a golem blank, which you then fire in a furnace to create the finished golem to be placed into the world.
perhaps a recipe like this for the blank that would then be fired in the furnace:
Just instead of iron those armor bits would of been made from clay.

In Minecraft, you don't craft mobs in a crafting table.

I am meowing at my lung’s fullest. I would even argue that the echo that reverberates back to me is the voice of someone I know…

You don't yet that is, hehe.
I am just trying to take this idea presented of adding golems with consideration to the common literary place golems hold; which is usually human made constructs. They are usually a clay statue somehow infused with magic/spiritual energy and baked in a kiln to pull it all together.
The only way to follow that pattern in MC would be to create the blank statue and fire it in a furnace to get the finished "living" golem which you would then just take from your inventory and place it where you want it to take its first steps as a (probably) loyal follower.
I say probably, because it would be great to give a fairly high change that they will turn on their maker when put into service, as is often the case in works of fantasy concerning golems. I'd say like a 1 in 4 chance of them being hostile when placed, and making other golems follow suit when hostilities begin, would help avoid people trying to abuse golems as an unlimited army of followers.

Why don't you build the golem in the overworld and light it with a flint and steel? Once the fire goes away, it becomes a mob. Ta-da!

-just a slight change to the snow golem model
- mabe just drop stone nothing important- no new work
golem is a sweet pokemon
like a crumbly or cracked look
- could spawn in stongholds & be a good miniboss
this is more just a topic\ dont think it'd be considered
i feel like you might be making fun of me but yes and maybe have vines and mushrooms growing on it
