Those are the two main differences between GQL and REST. I can't tell you if it is suitable for your project, but now I hope you can make an informed decision. Also, for the idea that "GraphQL feels more aligned with creating a backend in Node," that's just BS. GraphQL is not aligned with any particular language, and the official project page lists various implementations. For Laravel specifically, you may want to look at the Lighthouse project.
