Hi Joel,
Have you looked into the v3 export_resources command? (python manage.py packages -o export_resources -d 'path_to_destination') This might fit the bill for what you're doing. It should export business data as json (with all your groups intact I believe). From there you can write a parser to convert that json to a v4 csv file.
