Mixing sync and async views in the same application
As for embedded... I've only dabbled. Yeah you're not going to run Elixir on an Arduino or other very minimal bare metal embedded processor. But the Nerves Project (https://nerves-project.org/) which runs Elixir directly on SBCs is very well regarded. But either way it doesn't matter, since I thought we were talking about web dev, which is where Phoenix and Elixir just make more sense, for me.

what is the common usage of elixir
For me particularly I like it for things like APIs, Web Platforms (lower resource usage than other languages), and embedded devices via Nerves. However I've also used it on my endpoints to monitor them via Erlang's built in os_mon. Another usage is the distributed nature of erlang can allow you to do things like connect two nodes and run code on a remote node via remote procedure calls. This would allow you to execute something in a nearby geolocated node and reduce latency. Fly.io did a talk on this feature.
