Is there a workaround for using vacation rules when the approver is part of an approval group?

in General Ledger & Intercompany

My client has the scenario where they have a General Ledger Journal Approver who is a member of an approval group using a vacation rule but the journal is still being assigned to them for approval and not their delegate. From reading Doc ID 2276580.1 I can see that this is intended functionality and the vacation rule is not applicable if the task is assigned to a group.

The workaround that comes to mind is to always have at least one approver in the group who is not on vacation. However I wanted to ask the community, have you found any other workarounds for this scenario?
