I'm failing at writing an Elementor $meta_query function so posts will be ordered by meta_value_num of a given key.

Each post has a numeric value for the key google_unique_page_views

My example is below:

// Custom query to order 'recommended reading' posts by populatrity
add_action( 'elementor/query/my_custom_filter', function( $query ) {
    $meta_query = $query->get( 'meta_query' );
    if ( ! $meta_query ) {
        $meta_query = [];
    }
    $meta_query[] = [
        'order'=> 'DESC',
        'key' => 'google_unique_page_views',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    ];
    $query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );   
});

Do I need to include the value query?

Assuming that you want to get posts with that meta key, regardless of content, and order by that meta value, you would need to set two properties.

1. meta_query
2. orderby

So the code, based of your question would be like this

// Custom query to order 'recommended reading' posts by populatrity
add_action('elementor/query/my_custom_filter', function ($query) {
    if (empty($meta_query = $query->get('meta_query'))) $meta_query = [];

    // add our condition to the meta_query
    $meta_query['google_unique_page_views'] = [
        'key'     => 'google_unique_page_views',
        'compare' => 'EXISTS',
    ];

    // set the new meta_query
    $query->set('meta_query', $meta_query);

    // set the new orderby
    $query->set('orderby', [
        'google_unique_page_views' => 'DESC' // or ASC, based on your needs
    ]);
});
