Coming from laravel, I've not used phoenix much, but often I find i'll need what a package 'brings' but different, or perhaps I need a package that's not updated for the latest laravel. Often if it's MIT I'll take the code and just put it in a service, modify it so it works w/ latest version, etc...
you could do the same potentially for any rails or laravel package you wanted for phoenix, obviously language constraints would be different and programming paradigm. It'd take a little bit but you could port things over, if you package it up - even contribute to the community growth.
I think choosing a framework solely because of available packages isn't a good thing. I mean nodejs probably has the most packages in it's ecosystem but a lot of them are pure shit.
