Ah, then you're in luck! Down the road, you should be able to tell Netlify Graph how to map the boilerplate-y bits from the API to the screen, so you always get something that works (with your best practices implemented) that you can start tweaking from.

We already do this for a handful of frameworks (plain functions, next.js, remix, etc.). Here's a bit of an older example (with a much older UI) of how it works with a very plain project mapping various GraphQL operations to next.js https://youtu.be/0LJr15A0t4Y?t=73, including

  - client-side forms
  - server-side form validation
  - auto-detecting when the user needs to log into a service client-side to do some query/action
  - prompting the user to log into the service
  - re-running the query on successful login

Basically, you should be able to click around in an API, run a test query, say, "Oh, I want that in my app", then click a button and have it inserted exactly how you and your team would have written it.
