Hi Brent,
Outlook on iOS and Android has been continuously adding a ton of functionality for users and enterprise features that administrators need. So, I would recommend you to take a close look at it.
I don't fully understand your comment on mail sync getting disabled. Can you clarify?

I personally use it, but most of our users use the built-in email clients as it is what they are familiar with/comfortable with. So we have never forced them to move into the tool. I'm afraid Microsoft is making that decision for us.
I'm a big fan of the stand alone Groups app, and personally didn't see a need to shove it into Outlook. I view it as a lightweight competitor to Teams, and thus worthy of its own interface. If you wanted to communicate in Outlook, you could just subscribe and do it via email.

The problem I have always had is that groups does not allow a user to log in with multiple accounts. For now the integration into the outlook app seems to correct that. Although it is a pain to get to the groups in outlook.
We are working on making access to groups in Outlook mobile easier. Stay tuned for more updates on this.
