> 1. Enable tab-bar-mode and then alter tab-bar-format to show groups. Something like this:

Thanks for the bug report.  We had a discussion about this problem
in the past, and in the result we arrived at such a solution that the
customizable variable `tab-bar-tab-post-change-group-functions' provides
an option `tab-bar-move-tab-to-group', so that when you select it,
then after changing the group name the tab is moved to its tab group.
