The difference in reliability between a BEAM based setup and one built on top of Python is so large I wouldn't know where to start to describe it. Erlang is built from the ground up to be reliable, Python has reliability bolted on as an afterthought and even the most advanced python environments (Anaconda, CPython) still suffer from some of the assumptions baked into the language.
