The backend engineer position lists ruby experience as a Strict Requirement. The linked explanation makes sense when trying for fast growth. However, the text is about 3 years old now so my question is: Do you expect this policy to change in the near future?

I don't. We had a few hires new to Ruby and I think it took them much longer to get up to speed and more of them never got up to full speed.
