Yes, Elgg is very flexible. Checkout the makeover done by the developers here.

I don't know much about your ".. need to scale to 1 million to 1.5 million users" but we've been running the biggest elgg-based social web-site in the entire galaxy since Dec 2008. You can read up on us here -> http://team.elggalaxy.com ;-)
