> That seems to sum up the sentiment that hot swapping in Erlang has uses but they're generally not aligned with what Erlang is typically employed for

Actually, I think it is much more common in original Erlang scenarios (including "non-web") where high availability is a useful pre-requisite.

It is in my experience less common in Elixir, which is often more web-oriented (although not exclusively).
