Rails is already the sane alternative. Any full stack framework is. DotNet, Laravel, Django, Rails... If you think you need a JS framework to handle your UI, you've already lost, and you're doomed to reinventing wheels that these technologies have already perfected.

Isn't Stimilus a JS framework?

  StimulusJS is one step up from JQuery and formalizes a lot of jQuery patterns that I'd come across - data-target, data-event attributes, etc.

  Not really. More like super simple and light helpers for dom manipulation - lets you add interactivity with minimal trouble.
