> that gives you really nice smart queries in Nuxt 2; it may not be that crucial in Vue 3/Nuxt 3.

It's even better with Vue 3 (or Vue 2 with the composition API anyway), especially when you combine it with graphql-codegen. Smart queries become just another composable, no `this.$apollo` to be seen. Got that going with API Platform on the backend myself, which has really nice integration with symfony, though it speaks only a bare-bones dialect of graphql as opposed to Lighthouse with all its crazy directives. No persisted queries either, but it's an internal app with bandwidth to burn.

Been eying wp-graphql for my one wordpress project. From my dabbling with it, the DX feels a lot nicer than the WP REST api, though I'm sure you know that's an awfully low bar to clear.
