I agree with you about the quick response to prednisone. I had the same quick response to prednisone when I had PMR and also when I had a flare of my arthritis!

Yes ... reactive arthritis (ReA) responds extremely well to Prednisone but there are better options.

RA responds well to prednisone too but chronic conditions like RA usually aren't treated with long term Prednisone. If they learned anything from the historical treatment of RA with Prednisone is that it came with many side effects.
