We're moving everything from Webpacker to vue-cli after a VERY short and very painful stint with it. It allows you to keep an entirely isolated webapp without depending on a library like Webpacker to knit the two together and handle the entire surface area of the abstraction. While we happen to host both in the same repo, you're not required to do so as you are with Webpacker, either. I also think that the modern advantages of the Rails asset pipeline are way overstated, given that tools like vue-cli have all the same capabilities out of the box and allow you to further separate your front- and backend concerns.
