I only evaluated hasura, haven't used it in production. What made me decide against it (it wasn't an easy decision, hasura does look cool) was the caching and scaling stories. The caching semantics for GraphQL are in general less mature than e.g. REST, but if hasura at least supported queries over GET it would help, by allowing CDNs to cache those requests. On the topic of scaling I was concerned that making a single postgres instance the bottleneck for the whole app does seem a bit of an expensive way to scale. But of course this all depends on the access patterns and the economics of the particular project.
