was this your path? I am heavily considering it, as I have been thinking about the BEAM for a couple years now but haven't dove in yet (coding is mostly hobby for me, though it does benefit my work sometimes)
This was actually my path. I started working on side projects and picked Elixir because I had my eyes on it for a few years and wanted to give it a shot.
Simple Phoenix server that made requests to third party API endpoints.

I don't think I referred to any Erlang code and just picked up Elixir. Ultimately, you will have to pick up some Erlang but you can get away with just Elixir for a long time.
