I too have had experience after experience where every Ruby on Rails project in maintenance mode is a complete disaster.

It seems like it’s great for quickly building things, but it is unmaintainable, unless you wrote the thing. I am very flexible otherwise, but Ruby on Rails is banned from any project I’m involved in.

My experience is the opposite - Rails projects tend to have tests and maintaining is easy because the test suite is end to end and means something.

That said, Rails projects without tests aren't fun. Besides missing tests, I've also seen fat controllers, bad schema design, and not using Rubocop make more issues with maintenance, but usually I interpret as lack of understanding how to use Rails, not Rails being to blame.

To be clear, I would work on a ASP.NET WebForms project again before I ever touch another RoR project.
