Cargo culting happens regardless of language. It's true that fully meshed distribution won't fly for Google or Amazon scale. But 99% of companies will never get to that scale, despite what they'd like to believe. Fully meshed distribution works just fine for many use cases.

I can't say if their use of Erlang is "fully meshed distribution" or not, but it seems to be flying just fine as the world's number 1 messaging platform.
