I feel your pain (literally since I am currently in the same boat with). Yes Rails would be a perfect solution for the CRUD work you have. Hell Django probably would be a good solution too.
Unfortunately it was “clear” 8 years ago that JavaScript is the “future” and I think at latest 5 years ago everybody got the memo.
Right now I think it is “clear” that the “future” we build with JavaScript has gone horribly wrong and I see some of us reevaluating the tech stacks we came from (Ruby on Rails, Django…) and some doubling down on JavaScript with SSR (server side rendering) and static pages in JavaScript Frameworks.

I’m afraid “the ride” will continue for a while.
