As a seasoned Erlang developer, it's really foreign to me that people can go so far as to never need a GenServer since they are everywhere in Erlang. Have you had any experience with ramping up an Erlang engineer to use Elixir? After interviewing an Elixir dev for an Erlang position, it was interesting that so much of what they used in their day-to-day abstracted away the components of OTP and the Beam. Didn't really have a firm grasp of supervision trees, process linking vs monitoring, etc.
