None of my projects want to be SPAs

It's similar to people gravitating to NoSQL when they probably actually needed a relational database because they don't really think about their data model and how it will be accessed.

That being said, as someone who has done a lot of infrastructure work, I do like web technologies that can fit into something like serverless and Ruby/Rails really isn't there. Speed, file size, and boot time all become much more important. Or if you can make it work, fully static pages that can live on S3/Cloudfront and any dynamic needs are abstracted away to API gateway/Lambda and pulled in.

I would much rather have an app running inside of Lambda instead of having to manage a load balancer and AWS auto-scaling, or even elastic beanstalk.

So many problems can be dissolved down into people picking the wrong tool for the job.

Yeah to be honest, even RoR/Django/whatever is often more than is necessary. Sometimes static HTML/CSS is what's necessary. A lot of the time, really. I wonder what percentage of React websites could be well served with static HTML and at least one employee who knows HTML.
