> if the modern equivalent of Rails already exists, please let me know!
You're in luck. Rails 5.2.3 was released 20 hours ago.
More seriously, I feel rails is still excellent and I'm happy to work with it every day. I'd be interested to hear more about what makes rails not modern? I find it a very productive framework.
EDIT: If you're talking about missing a JS equivalent of rails, do you know about Loopback? https://loopback.io/
