In the ddl.sgml, I’d swap the first two paragraphs.
I find the first one a bit confusing as-is. As far as I can tell, it’s an implementation detail.
The first paragraph should answer, “I have some data modeled as a graph G=(V, E). Can Postgres help me?”.
Then, introducing property graphs makes more sense.
I'd also use the examples and fake data in `graph_table.sql` in ddl/queries.sgml).
I was bummed that that copy-pasting didn't work as is.
I’d keep explaining how a graph query translates to a relational one later in the page.
As for the implementation, I can’t have an opinion yet,
but for those not familiar, Apache Age uses a slightly different approach
that mimics jsonpath (parses a sublanguage expression into an internal execution engine etc.).
However, the standard requires mapping this to the relational model, which makes sense for core Postgres.

While the version 0 was more of a fragile demo, this version 1 has a fairly complete minimal feature set and should be useful for playing around with. We do have a long list of various internal bits that still need to be fixed or revised or looked at again, so there is by no means a claim that everything is completed.
