I don't know erlang, but honestly it's much easier to grasp / easier to avoid footguns with callbacks than threads. The main "issue" is callback pyramids when you have a lot of dependent callbacks, but that's solved relatively easily with Promises, and even easier with async / await.

It's not a binary choice between runloop with callbacks or threads, that's why you should probably take the time to learn about Erlangs actor model implementation, which Dart's Isolates also implement to some degree.
