I am in the exact same situation right now with Erlang/Elixir as the choice. All I want for now is to get the basic functionality working and improve upon it after that. But it takes some time to do that when you have not used the language before. I plan to continue using Erlang/Elixir as my primary language for some time to come, starting with this project. It all boiled down to deciding the deadline for the product to go live. If I have time, I can choose Erlang/Elixir, else I might have to go with something else initially and make the switch later. I haven't made my decision yet, I hope there are some insightful comments here which could help me decide too.
