I think you're right. There's a benefit to using well-trodden patterns to keep code readable for others as well.

Plus in my mind I do like one file being the 'home base' for a class, and then using mixins to group and store methods used by it elsewhere.

The class-reopening-approach definitely is used a lot more in gems though (in my experience!)
