Yes, that is the best time to build a GraphQL API. It will save you many hours later. Like it or not, eventually if you are building a mobile app, you will move to GraphQL eventually. It's a massive pain to do it when you have everything running. GraphQL will save you from embarrassing errors on the client and improve performance for sure. My recommendation is — Build API and expose them using REST or GRPC. Use a solution like https://tailcall.run/ to create a GraphQL facade on top of it for your clients to consume.
