There are different opinions on this, but personally I agree with you for
openSUSE Leap.

I've done a lot of rails packaging too and, for openSUSE Leap, I would not use
rubygem-rails but use "gem install rails".

I may use rubygem-rails if we were talking about a product, but for the general
case, as for openSUSE Leap, I wouldn't. As I would not use rubygem-rails for
SLE15, but I may for products based on SLE15.

Not even rubygem-bundler. You can do "gem install bundler".

If you use rubygem-rails (and rubygem-nokogiri, rubygem-*) you will end up with
outdated rubygems, unless you constantly update them, as it is done in
Tumbleweed.
