I've used Elixir/Phoenix on K8s and there's some truth to this. For example - kubernetes' "if the process dies, kill the whole container and restart it" model doesn't work very well with Elixir (a process within the VM can die and K8s will have no idea). To some degree, K8s is replicating some of the BEAM functionality.
But there's still a lot from Kubernetes that Elixir can take advantage of. For example - service discovery, autoscaling, clustering, secret management - all made easier with a K8s deployment and Elixir.

I wrote a few blog posts about it a while ago if you're interested: https://medium.com/polyscribe/a-complete-guide-to-deploying-...
