Same experience with a medium sized Rails project here. I joyfully ejected after several months, I needed a detox from the untyped mess, every singe library was different, there were no coherent apis/interfaces at all. All Rails patterns were replaced with some random "smarter" counterparts, dry-rb here, some "better" orm developed in a shack there, all glued together. I recognized it's not the issue with Rails per se, it's the Ruby devs culture and I'm not compatible with it (even though the team was quite good, just a lot of cruft to deal with).
