I suppose it depends on how specialized or 'heavy' your needs are. I suspect that for a decent portion of web applications, Phoenix might last you longer than others before you would need to dive into the nitty gritty in either language. In my use case, most of my work is rather straightforward web apps. When using Rails I have occasionally run into issues where I had to tweak things or dive a bit deeper. With Phoenix these same projects would've been fine for a while longer. Of course, when you do need to dive in, perhaps an advantage of Rails/Django/Laravel/etc. is that the ecosystem is larger, so your problem might be solved without having to really figure out more.
