Almost all developers/team who actually tried out and used GraphQL, will say the same thing: You never want to go back.

Most of the arguments against GraphQL that I'm reading here, seem to actually be misconceptions (or the GraphQL ecosystem not being far enough yet).

I disagree. Some points are really valid. It adds complexity to your system, especially at the server. It is a costs/benefits thing, not only benefits. The benefits are minimal for simple CRUD-like applications.
