No worries and I appreciate you taking out time to reply. Here's what I ended up doing:

For the database migrations - I did include it in the build process but I separated the migrations into another stage in the pipeline and implemented something similar to what the aws-rails-provisioner gem does (Basically uses another buildspec for the release stage).

For one-off tasks - I ended up writing a shell script which runs a task, waits for it to be placed in a container, runs docker exec -ti to open the console and kills the task when the console is closed. The script could be run by something like:
bash rails-console.sh --cluster "cluster_name" --task-definition "task_def_name" --profile "cli_profile_name"
