I've heard from lots of folks in the Rails community that getting http/2 and streaming into Rails has been a slow and tedious process. I'm not saying it's going to be "a good fit for everything"—what I am saying is that it will be nice when we can run IO bound workloads in Rails without feeling like a fish out of water.

"it's certainly not a good fit for the overwhelming majority of Rails applications".

In my experience, most web applications are terminating HTTP connections from clients, then reaching out over a network to database servers, etc. to do work. This is very much IO-bound, so I'm not sure how this wouldn't be a good fit for most Rails applications.
