In the latest Rails versions, it’s probably just as easy as in Phoenix. The question is whether, after years of churn in the Rails frontend ecosystem, the core team hasn’t already driven away most developers who might have cared. At this point, few people would use a library that targets the newest Rails versions when most teams treat Rails purely as a backend and handle the frontend with something else.

While Rails indeed tries to support old versions for a while I found that many devs are eager to stay on top of upgrades (which also has been less painful the last few years and definitely when done incrementally)

Fair there will be some old never updated backend only services, but that seems like a stretch that those will need a FE library all of a sudden
