The title is a little click-baity, but if I have it right, the OP is saying that: because you can control the shape of your data on the client (graphql) you don't have to write code to wrangle your response data into the shape of your react component's properties (redux).

Which kind of makes sense, but I'm more biased towards thinking you'd almost always need some client-side work to reshape the response data because the front-end will always evolve at a different pace to the graphql endpoint, which ultimately has to be implemented by the server. Unless the entire team reaches this amazing point where the "graphql schema" and the abstractions in the app are just always in sync. Isn't it?

(Also, I love redux. Almost can't imagine using react without redux for any application. I started using react unreservedly, because redux. After disastrous attempts at flux. Redux is not going away I think.)
