In my younger days, I always felt pressured to use ProductX especially when it is praised and/or considered the next big thing. You can refer to javascript frameworks, libraries, even "cool, new" programming language.
I remember working on a Rest API and thinking about (things like) GraphQL... the typical "would it make life easier" and all that.
In the end, as the years have passed, I just stick to the minimum. If there is a tried-and-tested library or something.. I use it. When there is something new, I question it.
Never tried GraphQL. It looks like it can improve my data on one end, but cumbersome when it is hard to reason the data, or get generally complicated, which this article demonstrates.
