As a dilettante Rails amateur, I can also vouch for Rails in general compared to JS-based stacks. Having tried React ('cause it's trendy), I still feel like it's nowhere near Rails to create simple CRUD apps.

Thanks for the SQL recommendation — that's something I've personally struggled with in trying to move up from noob to intermediate.

Modelling things properly seems to be one step on the ladder that the Rails doc won't cover in sufficient depth, even though the tool provides simple ways of doing the task once you understand what you're doing.
