Is it safe to use the root group for administrative users that are not root?

$

I want to create some administrative users that will have full or nearly full sudo privileges anyways and I want to make it easy for those users to see any part of the file system they want without making it open to absolutely everyone, while not requiring them to be root or uid 0 to see the files so there will be fewer unfortunate accidents.

Is there anything about gid 0 or or the root group that I am overlooking that may compromise security.

My systems has the root group access configured how I want it already, r-x.
