In my experience, GraphQL enables smaller, less experienced teams to build complex web apps faster. (As long as you use decent frameworks and tooling.)
There are definite downsides versus eg REST (notably performance, which becomes harder to reason about), but it’s an acceptable trade-off for us.
I’m also optimistic about the great tooling that is improving all the time - eg Hasura, Postgraphile, Graphene-SQLAlchemy all solve N+1 today.
