Spring doesn’t seem as straightforward to me as I would hope. Play is similar, there is promise there but just too open ended.

Play is probably fine if you use Scala, the Java side is painful. I've worked with Play (Java version) for 3 years and we're moving to Spring Boot now, it's much simpler and stable (from a feature and framework perspective).

The funny thing I see on the springboot quickstart page:
Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration
And the very next thing is a maven xml config.

It's not a requirement to use Maven, so their statement is correct even in this extended sense. There's Gradle after all.

Yes it’s just an ironic presentation.

By no XML, they mean that you don't have to do any configuration in xml files.
You can declare everything as a bean.
Example: // enabling ETAGS
@Bean
public Filter etagFilter() {
return new ShallowEtagHeaderFilter();
}
I think it is easier to find resources to answer rails questions though.
In addition, many of the languages you list are very young and their frameworks lack the maturity of something like Rails, Django, Spring, or Laravel.
I think it's worth asking, why are you looking to switch? If rails is not a performance barrier for you, then I do not see a good incentive to switch other than wanting to learn something new.
