I dunno. I still really like Lighthouse (for Laravel).

It's about the only thing about my job I still do like.

The difference is that it is schema-first, so you are describing your API at a level that largely replaces backend-for-frontend stuff. If it's the only interface to your data you have a lot less code to write, and it interfaces beautifully with the query builder.

I tend not to use it in unsecured contexts and I don't know if I would bother with GraphQL more generally, though WP-GraphQL has its advantages.
