There are 2.6 and 2.7 versions available in CentOS 8 AppStream:

# dnf module list ruby

CentOS-8 - AppStream
Name  Stream   Profiles    Summary                                              
ruby  2.5 [d]  common [d]  An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language 
ruby  2.6      common [d]  An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language 
ruby  2.7      common [d]  An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language 

So "dnf module enable ruby:2.7" would enable you to upgrade to 2.7.

I remember being told that while the older version of Ruby is EOL as
far as the Ruby project goes, Red Hat developers still backport
security fixes for the life of the release.
