Seems a bit strange to posit fault tolerance as an alternative to a type system. Personally, I view type systems as a bonus to DX more than something strictly designed to prevent errors

It's in line with the erlang philosophy of letting things crash trivially and restart instantly. Due to the universal immutability, starting a new process from a given state in Erlang/Elixir is nearly instantaneous and has extremely little overhead as they are not OS threads, they are BEAM VM threads.

Very opposite the Go model, btw.

Letting you wrong computations crash does not make them right.

To restart and fail again? How does that help with logic errors caused by wrong type objects?
