People hate on GraphQL and every time I read it, I just default assume they haven't used it at scale and don't understand the benefits, or fail to grasp just how hard frontend dev is for anything non-trivial. It has worked so remarkably well, and scaled from app to app to app in an almost copy/paste kind of way (all type-safe!), that it is easily my favorite tech, along with Relay.
We've been using it in production for 10 years. Would I change a single thing? No. Every day I come to work thankful that this is the tech stack that I get to work on because it _actually works_ and doesn't break down, regardless of size.
