Hot code reloading for development (recompile-on-save) has issues, but production hot code loading for zero-downtime deployments is still a core BEAM strength and what this article focuses on.

To be fair, I think most apps don't need zero-downtime deployments in the telcom sense.
Most host have blue-green deploy options which reduce downtime and there are fewer corner cases to deal with.
I find local recompile very useful for prototyping in development mode. So much so that I have a keyboard shortcut to trigger a recompile. (I don't like recompile on save.)
