Highly unlikely. And as you may have read in this article, this isn't about "moving parts" but making the monolith itself more modular. The monolith is close to 3 millions lines of codes last I read, and they don't want a micro-service architecture.
Also - would Elixir have really scaled 3 million lines of code that easily? Maybe Shopify would have gotten the "Umbrella app" from Elixir for free but would have had to implement a tons of other functionality themselves. I read over and over Elixir has missing libraries. If they went the rewrite in different language route I'd argue something static like Java is a much more sensible fit for this specific problem than Elixir.
