Now that you understand how inheritance works, you may want to reconsider your decision to create subsites in the site collection. Many of the new features in SPO, i.e, Office 365 Groups and the soon to be released Hub sites will work best with separate site collections that do not have any subsites.
There are many good reasons to have subsites, but there are also many benefits to having separate site collections. It can be confusing to have a new "site collection" that only has one site (and is not really a collection of anything), but that is just the nature of sharepoint architecture.
Under modern architecture if we create site collections instead of subsites for a department how can we make sure all site collections related to a department will inherit same permissions groups.
You can’t . Every site collection is a unit of permissions management
- I don't really see a problem on doing this if you follow an approach where you provision your modern sites in the same way what means you follow the same process when provisioning them and in this process you take care of the security model to be applied
