> GraphQL would be unifying all the different endpoints into a single URL and all the CRUD functions would be preserved

Upload operations in particular are quite complex due to lots of dependencies in the data model, and most of data is currently part of some XML document. Also you want to avoid single object uploads as they're quite slow.

> I was looking to make use of OSM backend as part of my mapping infrastructure with my own data set. I am considering to write a custom frontend that consumes a select portion of that.

Ok, that would probably be out of scope for the main OSM site then. People tend to use Overpass API for those sort of things over here (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Sparse_Editing) .
