Appreciate all the work done by the Elixir team on this. If at some point something makes the type system unfeasible, does it mean it would be unraveled from the compiler or is it safe to say what's been released now is there for good?

Hard to say, as it really depends on what goes wrong. In practice we would likely need to make different trade-offs (for example, do less inference).
