Help a noob out with boiler code

I’m currently mapping out a multi-agent system to handle automated data pipelines for a work project, and I’m hitting the exact same wall with setup friction.

I started with a LangGraph and CrewAI stack. While LangGraph is unmatched if you need absolute, granular control over a stateful directed acyclic graph (DAG), the sheer volume of boilerplate code you have to write just to pass state between nodes is exhausting.

(i mean i can make ai write the boilerplate but i've had bad expericences) Worse, trying to manually engineer deterministic guardrails, handle runtime data masking, and stop agents from hallucinating outside their bounds has felt like a second full-time job(not that i have had a full time job before)

how do i fix this?
