I've written and deployed 3 applications written with Yesod so far. I also have some experience with Ruby on Rails. I'd say the two frameworks are rather on the same level of abstraction and similar in terms of productivity in my experience. And I like the type safety Yesod is able to provide, e.g. even for routes.

My experience with Haskell for a webserver is that, yes, it's finnicky to get going. However, type checking from URL router to database [0], with esqueleto, is wonderful. With stack and docker the setup has gotten better.
