The only Maia we know of with a child, Melian, had her by an elf. So we'd be layering our assumptions thickly to make Goldberry a daughter of two Maiar.

So... can a half-Maia like Luthien, or hypothetically Goldberry, have children by a full Maia like hypothetical Bombadil?

And can Huorns get huorny?
