Description
Issue summary
With the most recent news from Unite noting the decision to deprecate GQL in favor of rest I wonder if we should get ahead of the curve and remove GQL references from the template.
Good decision to deprecate GQL imo, GQL works really well as a universal translator for backend services but its relatively weak as a client service. Especially with rest developments in the last few years.

Search the template for GQL references and inspect the affected entry points before determining the REST replacement scope. Confirm whether the template can work without GQL, then verify that all intended references are removed and the template still functions.
