The only “kernel of truth” in that statement is that in its launch state in EW ifrit had a lower PPS (potency per second) than titan who is easier to execute due to being all instants so they buffed ifrit but even before that buff ifrit was always a gain over ruin 3.

The only time you shouldn’t be using primal abilities over ruin 1/2/3 is a wonky level range in the 50’s and 60’s where garuda’s aspected ruin 2’s are a loss over just casting ruin 2
It depends on the level. At level 70, hard casting ruin 3 offers more pps than ruby, emerald and topaz ruin 3.
