This is why I moved to docker when moving from 3.X to 4.X. -- it was becoming very chaotic to try match the dependencies for Ruby, etc. without messing up other stuff, and in some cases even getting the dependencies running at the current versions was difficult or impossible. By switching to the docker version all those problems were nullified. Of course docker doesn't always have all the dependencies needed (I have some apps in similar situations where I've had to use flatpaks), but for Mastodon the docker versions have been OK for 4.x so far, even with my local mods.
