Thanks all for the feedback. Good information! Now a few comments on where I am today:
Jira 5.0 does have some nice REST API features that I'm working with. Not sure it has everything I need but it seems that previous versions are a little light on REST support. Currently stuck in the cloud and trying to figure out how to get to a version 5.0 sooner.
JIRA was not exactly my choice - it was given to me as an Enterprisy solution.
I'm also not using it as an Agile development tool at all. I'm using it as the basis for a Customer Service software platform. Not sure that it's the best option in the world, but it is the option on my plate today. I am interested to hear of any others people have experience with - I'm all for "better".
I think there is a lot that needs to be extended to meet my needs. I just hope I can get there with this set of tools.

can. I've not seen or heard of anyone using JIRA with Rails. Most prefer
a more "agile" project management tool such as PivotalTracker,
Lighthouse or similar. Each of these have REST based APIs and are often
integrated with Rails.
I'm not surprised about this. JIRA is an "Enterprisy" project management

tool. While Ruby on Rails is perhaps gaining some ground in the
enterprise space it's not something necessarily driven by the core
Rubyists.
Rails is well known to be an "opinionated" framework. And SOAP lost that
battle years ago to REST. So I'm not surprised to see little mention, or
support, of a SOAP based API no matter what's sitting on the other side
of it.
I'm not saying that your choice of JIRA was a mistake. I've not
evaluated the software, mostly because my first glance at it didn't
appeal me. And, finding out now that its API is based on SOAP just
lowered my interest even further.
I did evaluate a lot of project management/tracking solutions and found
only one that I was actually happy with, which is PivotalTracker. That's
not to say it's the solution for everyone though.
As for helping you with your soap4r/JIRA integration problem. I'm not
surprised your having trouble, but I have no idea how to help you with
that. I do wish you luck in fining a solution.
