This is also true of rust, go, c++, and arguably haskell. I don't see anything about scala that inherently makes it easier to "get things done". If anything, I've spent a good 10% of my scala development time (over hundreds if not thousands of hours) debugging library, compiler, and documentation bugs and inconsistencies. This is not good for a language where you get things done.

You can see a few commercial uses in "Built with Scala.js" at https://www.scala-js.org/community/ https://www.scala-js.org/community/ I have also talked to people out of a few tens of companies who have told me they were using Scala.js in production.
