I was just about a month ago trying to figure out if Rails and HTTP/2 could work together; and it seems this is about the only answer out there currently (or did I miss one?)

This is a long way from native bi-directional HTTP/2.

I'm about to ask the same question, I have a rails app and would love for the assets to be served by HTTP/2

Don’t you have an nginx/Apache in front? If you tell it to serve HTTP/2 don’t you already get 95% of the benefits?

It's nice to directly/natively serve HTTP/2 web apps, because it simplifies development and production environments.

Sometimes best practice for HTTP/1 becomes anti-pattern for HTTP/2. Some of these issues are discussed here: https://www.codeotaku.com/journal/2018-10/http-2-for-ruby-we...
