Sorry, this can't be changed because it will cause an infinite recursion.
You can see in 'tab-bar-format-tabs-groups':

                   (let ((tab-bar-tab-face-function
                          tab-bar-tab-group-face-function))
                     (tab-bar--format-tab tab i))

Then with the default value 'tab-bar-tab-group-face-default'
of 'tab-bar-tab-group-face-function', 'tab-bar-tab-face-function'
in 'tab-bar-tab-group-face-default' will recursively call itself.
