I am slightly concerned that the default recommendation is Turbo

I'm especially concerned given the last point of "DHH drama" since Turbo is still pretty darn immature. It's so much still his pet project and it's just not great if the community isn't acting in a super cohesive way on these things.

Of course, all the stakeholders in Rails aren't going to let this become that much of an actual problem, but it still poses a risk to the direction of the ecosystem. I'd like to think everyone is rowing in the same direction, but I'm not sure that's totally happening at the moment.

On the plus side, I was skeptical about turbo working out well on a static site and it has performed well, decent lighthouse scores. I know static sites are a niche area relative to a regular web UI frontend.
