"You guys" isn't a pronoun in the first place.

I guess at least not grammatically. But informally people might use 'pronoun' in a way that includes this meaning?

It functions as a pronoun. The technical term is pronominal. But people would have to look it up. And they'd wonder why you didn't just say pronoun.

Thanks for the useful new language term! I’d never heard of Pronominal before.
