I'm from Java & RoR too. No you don't need Front End experience (although I had it).
+ There are more opportunities for remote jobs. - Usually companies that use Node.js are small or small departments in big companies, and it's harder to get h1b visas than with let's say Java because of the small size they can't afford it, especially long waiting time for approval. So, for remote and interesting work - definitely RoR & Node.js For more reliable and relocation - good old boring Java would be better choice.
