So did you ever actually use it? Or did you just read docs about it.

Thank all that is holy, I did not use it. I had other options, which I chose, because I'm the boss.

Edit: I'm not proud of my occasional tendency to wind y'all up for fun, but I will say it helps proactively build my block list of folks who can't take a joke.

The experience was awful.

I did not use it.

Hmm. You sure have a strong hatred of a thing you never used, about which your main objection (no HTML explorer) is completely untrue.

I don't think anyone would say you need GraphQL for a tiny 10-20 endpoint project. It's for big projects.
