Library stubs have been unsupported for ages.  In fact, when you
install RubyGems, it looks for any existing library stubs and removes
them :)

When "require" gained the ability to look for libraries in installed
gems, library stubs were no longer needed or wanted.

Application stubs are a different matter.  If a gem includes any
executables, they are proxied in your "bin" directory whether you like
it or not.  AFAIK, there's no option to control that.
