To be completely honest, probably yes. As far as I know, Ruby has some serious performance and memory leak problems.

Sure... My company has legacy code in Groovy. It's still used, maintained, and productive. That said, I'd never say that my company is a heavy groovy user. Rather, my company didn't want to spend resources to get rid of Groovy.
I don't know Ruby that well, but I'm having hard time seeing cool new cloud-native projects heavily utilizing containerized Ruby.
