Hi NotMacGyver I wanted to confirm that this is By-Design. Intune blocks the user from manually adding Google accounts to the Work Profile, and unfortunately there is no workaround.

I've just run into exactly the same problem. We don't fully use Google like you do, but we do have a G-Suite set up so everyone can have a company Google account with authentication from Azure so you get all the benefits of signing into Chrome, SSO on sites that don't support Azure, etc.
Anyway, the closest setting I can find is "Add and remove accounts" in Device Configuration Profiles/Work Profile settings but that only has the option of Block and Not Configured.
If users can't sign into Chrome on Android it makes it all pretty useless.
