You can kinda ignore OTP outside of the initial "run these (erlang) processes when the vm boots", which is a few lines - often scaffolded out automatically. But then when you suddenly need some async task x service x parallelism its there. I guess if you're building a company it does behoove you to at least read a bit about it but you don't need every team member to be an OTP expert. If you can understand how an OS runs processes at the most basic level and how javascripts async/await works you're already most of the way in a practical day-to-day sense.
