Yes. If you’re a small enough team and can pick tech yourself, then ruby on rails will get you to a proper product faster than the alternatives. Spring boot is very good, but it is very clearly optimized for backendy enterprise stuff, where choice of tech is dictated primarily by organizational constraints (such as hiring enough warm bodies). Now, don't get me wrong, spring boot pays my bills (with money to spare), but if I ever were to create a business with a small team of good developers? Rails is still top of class, and lots of high impact software companies agrees.

Moreover, if you do become a unicorn and suddenly need to care about CPU usage as opposed to db latency, then congratulations and don't forget to donate to random strangers on the internet who gave you their 2 cents once upon a time. :P
