I think that it has some really nice advantages, but it has some glaring issues that make its use case somewhat limited.
When you are defining some component and you can define exactly the query that the component will need in the same place, that is great.
However, doing normal things like file uploads introduce clunky extra steps like sending a mutation to get back a url that you then make the upload request to. Clunky.
Further, in the past my team has experimented with trying to do multi-model transactions with I think Apollo graph ql library, and it was not readily possible. That was back in 2020, maybe things have improved since then?
