To that end, cloud platforms like fly.io[0] provide first-class support for Erlang/Elixir and related frameworks. If the industry is converging on Erlang-like solutions, it makes sense that Erlang is a natural fit.

Problem is that outside of Fly, somebody still has to do the system admin. Erlang (used in an web application context) won't manage itself no matter how well designed it is. Stuff like serverless is meant to completely outsource DevOps.

I mean, `mix phx.gen.release --docker` generates a nice dockerfile for packaging up a release (which is all Fly does). At that point it's essentially no different than any other containerized application. I've shipped Elixir apps to Heroku, Fly, Render, and Azure with basically no devops on my part.
