I'm the author of that gem. My goal with it is to really just help people get up and running with rails & backbone as quickly as possible. There are no best practices built in and I try to avoid adding any extra features that aren't needed for getting started. I'm sure you could use rails-backbone to help get off the ground and then read over the snippets from backbone-boilerplate to see where to go from there.
