You won’t go back because of the gains but would you have done it again from the start? Or is it more of the supporting libraries being the problem.

Even outside of python many people seem to be on the fence when talking about actually implementing it.

It's the supporting libraries. GraphQL itself is fantastic and solves so many of the issues that crop up when using REST, especially around excessive requests, extraneous data and poor transaction support. My team's core knowledge is in Python and Django so that's where we're most productive, even hamstrung by the tools, but with a bit more flexibility in timelines I'd probably go the typescript/node/apollo route.
