Carry on with is more formal.
I would use carry on to describe tasks.
“Please carry with your studies.”
It seems one difference might be that I would use “go on” when there is uncertainty whether to do the action.
We were very nervous about the bank robbery we had planned. We were about to call it off, when we found a new weakness when they hired a new security guard. So we decided to go on with it.
