I made this same tech-stack decision while working for a company in the manufacturing industry. React, GraphQL, Node.js. There was a reason behind it.
The head of the company was pushing to modernize our process flow via software meant to drive manufacturing. We had contractors on site from three different companies who were each using us as a test-bed for their software/manufacturing integration. Every week or two they'd plot out some new data they'd need to move from sales to engineering, manufacturing, QC, etc.
In our case, having GraphQL as a translation layer for the sales website saved everyone involved time. However, I can also see many scenarios where that wouldn't have been the case.
It definitely comes down to using the right tool for the job. Knowing how to identify which tools fit and which don't is one of the skills it's very important to help new devs develop.
