Elm is cool, the BDFL seems like a great guy, but he's a bottleneck and the community is too small. I developed our internal Dashboard using Elm and we have already end-of-lifed it primarily for this reason. I think it's always going to be a niche product and I can't justify betting my business on that. Other larger communities are going to take these ideas and execute on them better.

The only way I see this changing is if Evan massively delegates responsibility, and I just don't see that happening. Elm is cool because it's small and tightly controlled, but that also limits its viability and growth potential.
