I'm a long time Rails guy. Sadly at any sufficient size of an application, I end up disabling Turbolinks. Every time, I want it to work but you as you mentioned there's a few gotchas here and there that catch me unaware that cause me to shy away. In the rails JS camp though is StimulusJS. I swear by this for developers that want a bit of JS sugar but don't need the full suite of Vue or React.
