My searching on the projects discovered previous versions of Pleroma that failed to install due to the OpenBSD version being newer than Pleroma supported, so the concern I end up with is wondering what happens if there is some update to either Elixir or Pleroma/Akkoma that breaks something.
I would say that it's very possible that something changes in OpenBSD, OpenBSD ports or Pleroma/Akkoma that makes running it on OpenBSD difficult. FWIW, it could already be so, even though it doesn't look like it at a quick glance. However I think it is very unlikely that the root cause will be with the Elixir minor release - much more likely it will be with some other dependency at some point.
That said, I know little about Plermoa or Elixir on the development side, so it could be that was an unusual circumstance. I can certainly move forward with things as they are and in the event I have an issue, future me is usually able to figure out what to do about it. (o;
Well, there is also the option of porting either for OpenBSD. Still not a guarantee for anything, but at least problems won't come as a surprise. If that's something you want to consider, I'd be happy to review and test.
