You won't lose anything if you stay with Python/Django stack without touching Ruby/Rails. I believe the number of jobs available for Django and Rails developers is more or less equal if we talk about that point specifically.
But if your goal is just self-education, then why not give Ruby a try?
At least 5 built-in ways of doing JavaScript. And there are many more outside that, of course. None of these is Rails' "fault". That's the world of JavaScript, how it is.
As for the assets - Sprockets or Propshaft. The latter will replace Sprockets in new Rails versions.
