You can keep the isolate_namespace. In your engine routes.rb

MyEngine::Engine.routes.draw do
  ...
  root to: "something#index"
end

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get "something", to: "my_engine/something#index"
end

And then in the main app routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do

  mount MyEngine::Engine => "/anything_you_want"

  root to: "main#index"
end

This way you can choose what routes you want to expose (and which you do not)
