Rails 8: Do we want to use the solid_* gems as our defaults? #568

Rails 8 installs and uses the solid_cache solid_queue solid_cable gems by default (in all envs). Are they our default now too? e.g. no redis by default for background jobs or rails cache?

I'm +1 on exploring these long-term, but for now I think we should keep things as-is because:

replacing sidekiq is a big thing from a history POV, so should be given its own PR
my understanding is right now good_job has a much richer feature set than solid_queue (though it looks like they might have already caught up)
