Not sure that this is in writing anywhere. The closest I have found is https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6703#issuecomment-3749903005

Our asset pipeline is behind the times. It's based on Sprockets, which has never been the easiest to work with.

Examples of issues caused by Sprockets in this app:
- https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6703: see comments. There was some issue making ESModules work with Sprockets.
- https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/2185: Sprockets forces us to depend on a file that might not exist, and breaks if the file is not there.
- https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/2185 and https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/6679: where we are forced to pin dependencies of Sprockets.

These days, new Rails apps use [Propshaft](https://github.com/rails/propshaft), which is supposed to be simpler and should receive more support going forward, plus we want to keep as close to Rails conventions as possible.
