Author here! The answer to your question is in the FAQ on the website for Next LS in particular, and a motivation for the whole elixir-tools family of projects on the home page https://www.elixir-tools.dev/next-ls/#faq
TLDR, NIH

This is AWESOME!! seems to fix every single issue I’ve had with elixir LSP.
Not sure how I’ve never heard of elixir tools in spite of being a full time elixir dev.
Going to install this first thing tomorrow.
I hope you guys are adding first class test and debugging support too. (Maybe you have, I haven’t read the whole list of features)

#15The banding on the background is incredibly annoying, but looks interesting. I was considering learning Elixir the last few weeks, and I'm still on the fence. Does anyone have any good tips on how to set up a decent dev environment (IDE/debugging/etc.)?
VSCode + ElixirLS is usually enough for everything. ASDF is a useful tool to install desired Erlang/Elixir version. Don't think you need anything else
Definitely use ASDF for managing it. I’ve started using it for Node too and I quite like it, even though I was pretty hesitant to start using yet another package manager.

I actually use RTX instead of ASDF as it's significantly faster and doesn't rely on shims. But you should definitely use one of them.

I have also switched to rtx, and even use it in the Next LS build pipeline as an easy way to install Elixir & OTP.
