Not really. Erlang's VM is actually surprisingly slow, and in the era of c10k it was still using select/poll, which were getting to be bottlenecks.
What Erlang excels at is "no programming mistake ever should the whole system permanently down". As in components will reboot to recover. It's not a magic fix for anything outside of that.
