But Erlang provides something that Kubernetes/Docker/Systemd isolation does not: fine granularity / per request isolated processes. Is the difference between a code bug killing a single call in a VoIP system vs killing an entire OS process with hundreds of them.

Do you mean actors? I kinda hate how they’re always referred to as processes.

The actor terminology isn't used in any official sources since Erlang processes are not quite "actors" in the actor model sense. They were inspired by OS processes.
