It might be simpler to direct people to use the O365 Web App, which doesn't automatically add the group as an attendee.
- Sparrowhawk011Mar 05, 2020Copper ContributorTo clarify, the Support article linked above says to include as an attendee only those people you want to invite, which does not necessarily include the entire group. The event then appears on the group calendar, and anyone who is a member of the group can see the details of the event, including the attendee list, but doesn't get the invitation email unless they are also an attendee.
Adding the group as an attendee adds all of the group's members as attendees.- Heiko FuhrmannMar 06, 2020Brass Contributor

This works as expected using OWA (you don't need to forget what you not should do :-)), with the Office 365 desktop client invites any time will go to all group members we found.
