This is true. I think most devs hear “graph database” and don’t realize the implications of that term. Storing some kind 3 events in LMDB doesn’t mean you have a graph database.

Neo4j and its query language, cypher, is extraordinarily mature. If you want to write a sql query with multiple joins, cypher will outperform you every time.

Which is why nostr and graph databases like neo4j are a match made in heaven.
Actually, it doesn't make sense to recreate Neo4j's graph data structure and query language. It's more mature than you think.
