Does this still need to be compiled/built on an equivalent to the target server?

For example if I want to deploy on Ubuntu 18.04 currently I need to mix release on a server with the same OS/arch. I'm assuming that's still the case here?

Yes. There's no support for cross-compilation.

This came up multiple times when scoping out what we wanted to do for SpawnFest. The Nerves project crosscompiles code for packaging OTP releases on embedded devices, so it is possible. Many Elixir and Erlang libraries that have native code already support crosscompilation with Nerves. I think that it's something to consider as a future feature.
