I've tried learning both and Erlang seems to be less magical and more consistent. That said, I wouldn't dare to start an important project in either language for the fear of getting stuck somewhere along the way. With Go, there are no such concerns, even though the language itself is by far less elegant.
A valid concern but you should have in mind that ElixirForum is one of the friendliest and most helpful programming communities that you will find out there. And that's not coming from me or Elixir veterans but from a ton of newbies, regularly.
