I agree that the idea is really interesting behind electron but I never really got into it.
One day maybe, when the time to get something for desktop arrives.

Well, I would call it a trouble 
I do not remember, but even if, the Scenic uses Wx only to create window with OpenGL context inside. After that everything is handled via OpenGL. Wx is fully fledged widgeting system that passes everything to C(++?) where it is handled in platform dependant way. So the approach is quite different even if some components are shared.
You can use Erlang libraries from Elixir code without any problems. And if you need, you can create wrapper that will make it easier.
Apple M1 with Big Sur may be the step into the right direction, where you can write native application once and share it through whole ecosystem without any recompilation. That may be interesting to see how it will go.

I can think of two apps that do this: Unifi Controller (for controlling Ubiquiti wireless APs and other such products), it starts a Java app that just has a button “open in browser”. The other example is CUPS, which can be viewed on localhost port 631 by default if you have cupsctl running.
