No downvote - it definitely is crazy complex, or at least intimidating for anyone from the 'before times' of Rails (myself included). Everything is taken over by engineers and so is now over-engineered and feels totally geared towards developers developers developers and a weird obsession with performance.

And all the new features including server side rendering give me whiplash

Over-engineering is not exclusive to the JS world. It's just in the spotlight nowadays. Rails also just hides its magic well because of Ruby and most experienced devs are already used to the Rails magic so its simpler compared to the new stuff like Next.js.
