On the other hand, it may filter less dedicated people from showing up at your door.

This is the real problem.

Most orgs that fail on elixir fail due to management.

absolutely, that's what I said when I talked about strong org support.

also, if you don't have strong org support, you risk getting onboard people that just want to work with that specific technology that WILL gtfo as soon as they need to change team to one that doesn't use it, or if the technology is sunset, etc., so it's even more risky to have an exotic stack in the middle of more common stacks

This is a problem, that needs to be fixed in tech management. Tech managers need to trust their dev talent. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy.

Elixir is risky, so let's move off of it ==> devs leave. Elixir seems risky.

And then the devs/ecosystem gets blamed.

Also a risk of polyglot environments. You can easily end up with teams that lack deep knowledge of the languages and libraries you're using.
