That is broadly my experience with pure Ruby, yes. In terms of C extensions, I know they were doing some work on this but it was a WIP last time I looked, although maybe I should refresh my knowledge on this if it's now all good to go!

Many native extensions just work with TruffleRuby, I'd estimate even the majority of the popular native extensions just work. Performance of native extensions is not always good, especially if they do a lot of back and forth between Ruby and native.

To give one example, DB adapters work just fine.
