If you want to do exclusively distributed computing at the application level - Erlang/Elixir will be better. They can offer nice Northstar of where the UX of Akka.net/Orleans should sit at (and, arguably, Orleans is not exactly nice to use in comparison).

Otherwise, aside from educational purposes, they are not worth spending your time on. Just skip to F# over Elixir because Elixir is not a serious language, lacking base language primitives and operations one would expect standard library to offer. It's not productive nor fast.
