Like he took several steps back and powered down after seeing Jiren's Ki Punch. I cant recall him doing that even with Namek Freeza.

The only other times Goku has given up in general were when Boo took control of the Genki Dama and started pushing it back at him, and after he barely neutralized Beerus' supernova.

He backed down against Cell. If Gohan hadn't been there I'm sure he would have been scared.

I was going to say this. Goku refused to participate in any sort of one on one with Super Buu.

But we have seen him running away against 2nd form Cell.

To be fair, he had an unconscious Tien and a badly wounded Piccolo in tow, and had yet to train enough to gain the strength needed to combat Cell at that point.

We saw him run away twice against Black and Zamasu. The first time (which was episode 57, actually), the 'poor' guy couldn't even power down and flee the battlefield because Black and Zamasu, in their genius and combined might, had ensured that he couldn't make any movement whatsoever, and so had to be dragged to safety by a mongrel like Yajirobe. But you could still see the fear in Goku's and Trunks' eyes.

He also did so against Mr. Popo, lest you forget.

He was afraid of Raditz, he was afraid of Freeza, he was afraid of Boo and he was afraid of Hit. Goku being afraid happens very often.

But has the "blue" (so to speak) ever been scared out of him before?

No, but I don't think he was exactly scared of Jiren, more-so just shocked.

Wasn't the indentation on Goku's cheek a sign he actually got hit by that punch knocking him out of blue? I think that particular scene was just poorly done.

No, it was more so the punch was enough to leave that make on Goku as it flew by his face. The scene was one of the better moments of the episode.

No there are no instances where Goku is that scared.

Unless you count the anime scenes that involve needles.

Except that's not what the OP is asking. In three examples you gave he never once backed away or powered down.

He didn't back away against Jiren, either. He powered-up right afterwards and started fighting again. He was shocked and scared for an instant, just like every other instance I mentioned.
