Best LMS for freelancers, to include a way for clients to track learners?
I did not realize that Canvas is open source. That's an LMS most people like. You have hosting space and server-side savvy, you could set that up: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms

An open-source distributed object storage service
No it's not. From a practical standpoint, I'm not even sure how that could work. You would have to require all browsers to be open source AGPL in order to load a web page served by it. By way of analogy it seems the equivalent of requiring the mouse and keyboard firmware to be licensed the same as the operating system.
A real life example is Instructure, which makes Canvas (which is agpl) but has other proprietary services that interact heavily with it. It's never been a problem

Open source LMS
Look into Canvas LMS, I would recommend using 8GB RAM and at least 4 vCores. I have used it in the past (`2 years ago) and only had issues with cloning class/course templates.

[Noob] Trying to create a Learning Management System using Rails 7. Am I biting off more than I can chew?
If you're planning on doing this as business though, bear in mind this is a pretty crowded market. There's already at least one Rails-based LMSes out there (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms), and dozens in PHP-land.
