What about the whole "graph" part? Are there any openapi libraries that deal with that?

There is json-schema which is a sort of dialect/extension of OpenAPI which offers support for fetching relations (and relations of relations etc) and selecting a subset of fields in a single request https://json-schema.org/
I used this to get a fully type safe client and API, with minimal requests. But it was a lot of work to get right and is not as mainstream as OpenAPI itself. Gql is of course much simpler to get going
The question I answered was regarding contracts. Fetching in a single request can be handled by your BFF.
OpenAPI definition includes class hierarchy as well. You can use tools to generate TypeScript type definitions from that.
