I'm not a huge fan of rails but, you can generate apps that don't include active record example of all the flags you can pass to rails when initializing a projects.

    --skip-git            Skip git init, .gitignore, and .gitattributes
    --skip-keeps          Skip source control .keep files
    --skip-action-mailer  Skip Action Mailer files
    --skip-action-mailbox Skip Action Mailbox gem
    --skip-action-text    Skip Action Text gem
    --skip-active-record  Skip Active Record files
    --skip-active-job     Skip Active Job
    --skip-active-storage Skip Active Storage files
    --skip-action-cable   Skip Action Cable files
    --skip-asset-pipeline Skip Asset Pipeline
    --skip-javascript     Skip JavaScript files
    --skip-hotwire        Skip Hotwire integration
    --skip-jbuilder       Skip jbuilder gem
    --skip-test           Skip test files
    --skip-system-test    Skip system test files
    --skip-bootsnap       Skip bootsnap gem

Yeah and Rails is modular enough that you can easily pare it down even further - you don't need to `require` everything.
