FF + NSS would be one case, but when we are doing Ruby on Rails update, it always involve more packages.

E.g. the build of NSS would automatically triggered side creation and waited for updated FF.well...there's always room for improvement, but it strikes me that would be rather complicated. It's not the case that *every* rebuild of NSS requires a rebuild of Firefox, so whatever is implementing this would need to be quite smart to know when it's necessary and when it isn't.
It could be just simple waiver.
Frankly, the existing tools are fine for the purpose. It is not hard to create a side tag, nor to put builds in it. Multiple other maintainers and teams manage this just fine, with much larger sets of packages: the desktop and KDE teams both do this very well, all the time, with dozens of packages. Bluntly, I don't think there is really a tooling problem here, there is a "getting the maintainers to understand the requirements and use the tooling properly" problem.
Tooling can do this indeed. Unfortunately, sometimes the information about the tooling capabilities just does not reach the right people. Other times it is just silly mistake. I'm just thinking how to make it more robust.
