You can't hire or rent devs that know Erlang without a multi-month search in most markets. This is a non-starter for most businesses.
Train them on Erlang yourself? Why? Any possible productivity benefits offered by Erlang over a more mainstream option are dwarfed by training and hiring costs.
Nobody gives a shit about hot code patching in real business systems; the telco switch architectures which demanded such features are basically bonkers and unnecessary in a packet-switched world.
