This is called already called "object-relational" model. It was invented by Postgres in the 1980s. The relational model / SQL absorbs the best part of alternative systems and get better over time. SQL:2023 is adding support for graph queries (SQL/PCG).

I find projects like apache/age [0] are very promising in this direction. But I wouldn't call graph db's a passing fade. A more appropriate description might be "too important to be left alone, yet not important enough to form a second type of mass market database engine".
