Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

activerecord-rescue_from_duplicate
Ruby gem to rescue from MySQL, PostgreSQL and Sqlite duplicate errors

Active Record is probably the "most owned" part of Rails, that's the one with the most core members and committers with deep knowledge of it.
As for your feature request, there's https://github.com/Shopify/activerecord-rescue_from_duplicat..., and we'd like to attempt to upstream that capability in Rails next year (but as everything it may or may not happen).
