Considering moving from NextJS to Rails
You should take a look at https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails. I created that repo back in 2015 and it's still going strong. Popmenu.com uses it and we've got 5,000 restaurant chains on the Rails monolith and huge traffic and transaction volume. Check out the html source of a popmenu site, like https://110grill.com. You'll see react-on-rails in the source.

Best project setup for Rails+React with "remember me" feature
The problem is I have no idea how to implement the "remember me" feature in that gem without just making the tokens not refresh for a very long time (I think that would be a security concern). So then I looked more into react_on_rails to just use sessions with Devise as a normal rails app, but I don't know if I'll be able to deploy that on AWS because of the changes I have to do to the webpacker/webpack config to allow for a better folder structure. I've never done that so I don't know if there may be any issues.

Sinatra is the oldest competitor of Rails. Although it's not that popular anymore, it's still used in some simple and performance focused services.

Does Anyone use Sinatra in Production?
Sinatra is fine as long as you have a small number of routes, because its router is O(n): https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/blob/ac5404dbd897a4b3c5b3921d2f89fecd3b540ed3/lib/sinatra/base.rb#L1008-L1010
