I totally see the appeal on the surface level of a nicer/cleaner looking query language and API.

Still, pretty much everything else you mentioned seems doable with REST. I'm using Marshmallow schemas in Python which seem to act in a similar way on a field by field basis as a GraphQL resolver does. I'm not sure what exactly I'd be getting outside of a slightly nicer/cleaner abstraction by moving to GraphQL, but maybe that's enough?

I'm intrigued by GraphQL, but I don't understand what separates it from passing "fields" and "embeds" parameters in a REST API. I don't see what about it would be inherently easier to implement either.

I've sparingly in my free time been working on a project that does exactly this with a REST API[1]. It's in an entirely unfinished state, but the linked documentation is a decent example of the types of queries possible.
