No, it's not.

As someone who programmed Erlang both professionally and published academically at Erlang venues for a long time, no.

These optimizations "for runtime" are not well supported by Erlang (i.e., cluster performance changes dramatically when behavioral characteristics of message passing switch from local to remote to remote cluster very quickly) and were long discussed in Waldo's paper back in the 90s, dynamic relocation is not supported well (i.e., unless you use global, which falls apart quickly under network anomalies, of which I, and several others, wrote paper(s) about), and the runtime hardly provides any information on introspection on cluster performance.

Sadly, distributed Erlang had the edge on programming distributed systems almost 20 years before they became pervasive, but has since been left to atrophy and hasn't seen any real innovation in quite a long time.
