It's indeed very powerful and there are jobs out there. Besides being an excellent modern toolbox for lots of problems (scaling, performance, maintenance) and having the arguably best frontend-tech in the industry (LiveView), the Phoenix framework also is the most loved web framework and elixir itself the 2nd most loved language according to the stackoverflow survey. Its still a more exotic choice of a tech stack, and IMO its best suited for when you have fewer but more senior devs around, this is where it really shines. But I also found that phoenix codebase survived being "tortured" by a dozen juniors over years quite well. I basically make my money solely with Elixir and have been for ~5 years now, interrupted only by gigs as a devops for the usual JS nightmares including serverless (where the cure always has been rewriting to Elixir/Phoenix at the end).
