> and value a lot of the same things Rubyists do: good documentation

In my opinion, the Elixir community (at least for the core language and major libraries) does documentation better than any other environment I've used. Almost every question I've ever had about using Elixir, Phoenix, or any of a dozen other libraries has been answered by using hexdocs.pm. The few things that aren't clear from those docs can generally be resolved by reading the source.

After that, elixirforum.com or the elixir slack give me higher level discussions on less immediate issues. I don't recall ever needing Stack Overflow for any elixir question.
