In our current project it's Stimulus/Turbo on the admin side (maintained by the backend devs), React on the end-user side (maintained by the front-end devs). I haven't met a single front-end dev who prefers the Rails approach. Even after trying to do some light convincing and demoing. They seem to be too committed to the React ecosystem in my experience. I can respect that, too much has been built for it already, and it's generally in high demand.

Plus, Rails story has no clear JSON boundary between back and front, which creates some discomfort (i.e. learning erb) as well. As a backend dev, I'm all-in on Rails in solo projects.
