I'm not saying that you can't build large complex applications in Ruby. You can. You could also write them in Brainfuck. Having static typing helps tremendously when you have a team of 50 developers and 15 BAs. There are so many moving parts and edge cases that having an IDE and autocompletion is a must have. A team of 50 ruby devs are going to have a heck of a time keeping track of all of that business functionality without an IDE.
