Is there a reason why using the set-group-id would be a problem?

This seems to be a problem from the lack of ACLs in Linux, which I'm
assuming is
your target platform.  What you need is more groups.  If you have a project
that
will have members which are subsets of one or several groups.  I'd just add
a
group for the specific project, and SGID the directories.

Yes, SGID helps in that way the user will always create the file owner-group
correctly.
But it requires the whole bunch of different groups. It's the lack of ACL,
you're right.
