Distributed Erlang on its own is fine to run in production (particularly as a control plane for metadata between nodes) because few assumptions about reliability of the network are baked in; most of them can be made by the application designer. Distributed OTP applications (with the automated takeover/failover mechanism) see very little use in the real world because of their set of assumptions that network failures are rarer than software or hardware failure, which result in perceiving all netsplits as nodes going down (a great way to get split brains!)
