You're acting like the distribution and serialization formats of Erlang are not open or documented.

If you're going for your C++ layer, try https://github.com/saleyn/eixx for example.

you're talking about undoing an architecture that lifts the benefits of an entire platform having done the work for you, in order to pick one that is probably easier to migrate to in the future.

You prefer doing all the work mostly from scratch, upfront and straight away, instead of having to maybe adapt a library later if you actually need to migrate.

I think your cost analysis is off.
