Agreed that graph databases are super useful for a variety of purposes. However, it's usually worth consideration as to whether a whole separate data store is needed for that. Postgres, for instance, has uses that would allow for this work within a RDBMS: https://postgresconf.org/conferences/2020/program/proposals/postgres-as-a-graph-database https://postgresconf.org/conferences/2020/program/proposals/...

Actually even the openlink virtuoso database project is kind of using the RDBMS approach in its underlying implementation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server However part of the power of the graph database that utilising a linked dataset such as RDFs is that you will be able to use SPARQL to query the graphs, which is more suitable for sets / graphs.
