Something like Strada is the final piece for me to give Rails a real shot. I've been running with Django + htmx recently. I'm having to do backend-for-frontend and write redundant JSON APIs for mobile. And of course I lose the SSR in those cases.

Did you try Hyperview (https://hyperview.org/)? It´s discussed in the Hypermedia book like the htmx for mobile.
I use Django (python) and htmx to get away from React/JS/npm (or deno, or bun). Not trying to dunk on JavaScript/React devs, but the language and its ecosystem suck the joy out of me.
The experience using Django & htmx is very similar to using Django & Hyperview. In both cases, you are primarily working with Django views and templates to build your app. You don’t need to touch JS using either library unless you want custom client-side interactions.
Strada isn’t dependent on Rails, but Turbo.
