I couldn't even begin to speak to Elixir. Never used it.
Most of my work is client-side (native Apple app development, in Swift).
For server-side stuff, I tend to use PHP (not a popular language, hereabouts). Works great.
I like PHP. It has a raw power that is really nice to have in web development.
Elixir is similar but concurrency is a 'first class citizen', processes instead of objects, kind of. It's worth a look. I've never used it but there's a project for building iOS applications with the dominant Elixir web framework, https://github.com/liveview-native/live_view_native .
