OTP 23 will have distributed spawn?

Just watched this video https://youtu.be/RHXs3JLg6C4 (OTP Team update - Peter Dimitrov | Code BEAM SF 20).
Can someone explain to me what kind of things could you build with that? Would distributed spawn allow us to create distributed stateful web apps?

You can already spawn processes on remote nodes (see spawn/2 for instance), but OTP-23 brings really nice improvements and better scalability in that area.
