I don't think deep mastery of the language is needed in order to jump into a dev role. At least form my POV, as long as you know the language well enough to be productive and are comfortable with going to the docs, that's enough.
The more important thing is if you understand how the web works. I'd much rather work with an senior Rails or Laravel dev who had just been playing with Elixir for a few weeks than someone who had studied the language deeply but had little web development experience.
Gatekeepers are annoying but you can usually side step a few qualifications as long as you can do the work.
