I love the idea of Hotwire and I'm already using it in one of my production project. Overall it saved me a lot of time and frustration having to deal with a separate frontend project, and the frustration having to manually manipulate the DOM with JavaScript in traditional MVC project.

However I faced some other new frustration, such as when trying to make a dynamic nested form (similar to cocoon gem) but only with hotwire stack (turbo frame/stream). It is also hard to think of each hotwire controller as a component, you might face some problems when trying to do some nesting.

I think Hotwire will be a perfect fit if you want a traditional websites with a few dynamic, interactive features. If your website is too much app-like, you should consider switching the frontend part to SPA entirely.
