Well another place is for elixir nerves. You probably don't want to figure out how to shipping the xla architecture to your embedded device (I think it has to JIT the code); with nerves you can trivially cross-compile the nif shared library with zigler and deploy to arm architecture.
But kudos to José for building an architecture at a very good level of abstraction, you know, just in case xla falls out of favor (it is a Google project), nx won't have a hard dependency, and there will be trivial migration paths out.
I think there could be some other interesting nx backends, like "remote computation", or "transpile elixir and run on a Julia worker node"
