The custom psif is not for the newline, but for pairing up the 
triple
quotes `"""` with another set of tripe quotes when 
electric-pair-mode is
enabled.  The newline is for keeping the syntax valid in elixir,
otherwise the font and navigation breaks because `""""""` is not 
valid
Elixir syntax and the tree-sitter grammar really does not like it.

Unless electric-indent-chars can identify the triple quotes, we 
need a
custom psif regardless of other functionality, but I don't see 
this
option.  Maybe I am wrong and you can point me to this feature?

If it does not make sense to add the newline as this might not be
expected behaviour when electric-layout-mode is not enabled, we 
can add
a check before inserting the newline?  I don't know if many people 
using
elixir-ts-mode will know about the electric layout mode and might 
get annoyed with
electric-pair-mode for heredocs ( tripple quote pairs ).
