You can just stick with the defaults until you run into issues or need advanced features like optimistic updates or real-time communication via websockets. Apollo also makes it easy to long poll if you're having consistency issues for some odd reason.
Arguably that's it's own trap. Convention over configuration has saved millions of man hours in e.g. Rails projects, but a lot of JS land involves sinking a lot of time into the opposite.
