But group chats don't work over SMS. That's a big deal-breaker IMO.

I have multiple group chats running with mixtures of iPhone and Android users.

You're using MMS for those group chats, not SMS.

Yes indeed, and some networks here in Europe don't support MMS anymore.

It was probably MMS, not SMS. SMS does not support group chat, but MMS does.
