I believe(?) stats have shown that Java, C#, Elixir, Rust and friends are going to be quite fast, but Node.JS is going to be even slower than Ruby. At least, Next.JS (which is on top of node, I think?) will be.

Sounds improbable. Unlike Ruby, JavaScript has multiple runtime implementations with capable JIT compilers that sometimes let it even compete with Java on numeric code. Ruby is very, very far away. Please note that Elixir is also in the same single-threaded performance ballpark as Ruby and Python, of course it does not suffer from any of the single-threaded bottlenecks the other two do though.
