I don't get the problem. The following works imho
\new StaffGroup
<<
\new Staff {
\grace { \bar "" gis''8 \bar "|" } c''1
\grace { \bar "" gis''8 \bar "|" } c''1
\grace { \bar "" gis''8 \bar "|" } c''1
}
\new Staff { c'1~ 1~ 1 }

Obviously I'm missing something...

Well, issue 34 is located deep, deep in LilyPond's heart and brain.
Up to now, nobody found a convincing fix.
Nevertheless, you may follow the link I gave here
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/34#note_339729636
and try it out. (Although it's limited to where issue 34 concerns repeats)
Cheers,
Harm
