Don’t Erlang/Elixir model all concurrency as actors, to some level of success. I was under the impression that it allows for quite a bit of deployment flexibility. Actors are addressed in the same way whether they’re on the same machine or not.

yes, to huge levels of success. It's not clear what kibwen is going on about, but local + remote actor concurrency transparency, while not without its complications, comes with massive development and deployment wins.
