The big thing that graph dbs provide is transitive traversals of join relationships.
The problem with graph dbs is trying to return something that is not a graph. Like a count. Or derived information. And which graph model do you use? There’s more than one. Lots of information is very poorly modeled in graph dbs. Temporal organization, for example.
Ultimately, graphs are a way to use relations. But relations allow you much more flexibility to associate information (subject to the issue of transitive relationship traversal).
Mixed graph-relational is perfectly reasonable. Reasonable start here: [https://age.apache.org/ https://age.apache.org/]
