I recently had to consume a GraphQL API (Shopify's) after being interested in it for some time.
Wow, not a fan.
Everything was poorly documented (both in the actual API and GraphQL itself) and fussy, and required a huge amount of code to get anything done. Nesting and union types were really hard to figure out.
Frankly, the more I used it, the less I liked it.
Is it possible that the API design was bad? Sure. But my googling to figure things out didn't make me think they were doing anything out of the ordinary at all for GraphQL.
