The main dealbreaker for me is 8 bytes (16 bytes on x64) per character in strings - which is a list of integers. Each element contains two integers - one for the character and one for the next pointer.

Why Erlang community couldn't came up with something like Haskell's ByteString? I mean, there is a bit-syntax in Erlang, but with a very limited functionality of what you would expect for string handling.
