Keep in mind that I've worked on small Ruby projects as well, and still prefer Elixir.
I'm not gonna suggest that there wouldn't be challenges in that scenario, but it just seems to me so far that they'd be much more manageable given the thoughtful design of Elixir.
The biggest problem in my app currently is actually JS/Node dependency hell, not Elixir code... and the JS only makes up a small portion of my app! (I should have never used AdminLTE as a design template...) At least my JS is tested (which was another huge PITA to figure out... simulating a DOM...)
