Why not node.js instead of Django? In general I feel node.js community is more active in terms of web development. And you don't need to do context switch between node and python. I would go with GraphQL, the part that I like the most is the schema. You don't need to maintain doc now. There is also a playground, you can do integration test easily during development.

If you feel bad about all the boilerplate code you need to write in server side. There are many node libs/blackbox services that can help you, such as prisma, hasura. You can also take a look at a lightweight library that makes your life easier when building GraphQL server: https://github.com/charlie0077/graphql-server-crud/

I am the author of that library.
