How do actor model languages (like ponylang) handle this? It seems like not having back-pressure support would be a fundamental issue with the language.

It seems like the gist is that the responsibility is on the application to be architect-ed (perhaps using one of the various libraries/strategies) to handle flow-control/back-pressure. The language itself doesn't directly help.
