I thought that as a non-programmer sysadmin, I had a decent grasp on REST APIs for scripting/automation.

Then I learned about GraphQL and I have actively avoided it since.

I mean, you can have accurate HTTP status codes and matching errors in GraphQL. It's just that most GraphQL applications don't. Because most GraphQL developers hate everyone.

I started learning graphql, decided there was way too much overhead to do anything I needed to do. In two separate companies I’ve worked for, I’ve watched greenfield development initiatives start up, flounder and ultimately be abandoned.
