I’ve only heard positives about Absinthe for Elixir fwiw.

The three biggest frameworks are definitely Apollo (JS), Graphene (Python), and Absinthe (Elixir).

The common thread between those is that they're all languages with weak type systems, which is a theme in GraphQL land. Strongly typed languages tend to have usability and safety issues with GraphQL; you end up needing codegen or bypassing type safety to make it work.
