No thank you
I am not a fan of the look. A bow tie is a much smarter look with the strength of tradition behind it. With certain doublets, a jabot and cuffs can be a nice look as well. The ruche tie was a relatively recent fad that failed, in my humble opinion.

Definite no for me; like a fly plaid, not something I will ever wear.

The story goes that a clerk in a formal wear rental shop had a lot of ascots left over from back when and no one was renting them anymore.
So he tied an ascot into a 4-in-hand knot and called it a Ruche tie.
Ruche - defined by the Oxford Dictionary is - a strip of pleated or frilled lawn, lace, etc, used to decorate blouses, dresses, etc, or worn around the neck like a small ruff as in the 16th century

Never worn one, never will. I'll stick to a bow tie.

Ruche ties scream hire shop wedding outfits. Having the misfortune to see one in a photograph is the closest I'd ever want to get to one.

Except for black-tie and white-tie events, hardly any men will wear a tie anymore, not even lawyers, bankers, and top Level management - at least not i Scandinavia.

I wear a tie most days except when I am on the farm where my sons have very sensibly introduced a "no tie" rule, amongst their "Health and Safety" regulations.

As a lawyer, in Northern Europe, working for a Swedish company - my usual 'business' attire is T-shirt and Jeans - I don't think I have regularly worn a tie since about 2004 when I left a somewhat stuffy law firm in Nottingham - but the firm I was at before them adopted dress down (unless meeting clients) as early as 2000...

The US is largely the same. Even when high-visibility types still wear a suit, they usually ditch the tie.
its definitely not something I'll ever have to worry about.
