Boring does not mean bad. Postgres is boring. Ruby is boring. Ruby on Rails is boring. They are good and well understood. Their failure modes are well understood.

This is a naive definition of the problems at best, and motivated reasoning at worst. The weight of day-to-day operational toil this creates crushes you to death.
