PROJ 6 support is not yet finished in GRASS. Currently it sort of works in master and relbr78, but I expect troubles because GRASS is heavily relying on deprecated proj strings as CRS definitions. This is becoming problematic e.g. when creating locations from GDAL/OGR datasets because GRASS goes from OGR spatialreference through proj string to GRASS definition.
For GDAL 3 + PROJ 6, GRASS should switch to WKT as main CRS definition format, ideally also storing a WKT definition next to PROJ_INFO. When creating locations from GDAL/OGR datasets, GRASS should go from OGR spatialreference through WKT to GRASS definition, and probably use the new PROJ6+ methods as much as possible. When getting the projection info of a GRASS location, GRASS should then check in that order 1) WKT, 2) EPSG or other SRID, 3) GRASS native definition (which deviated from proj definition some decades ago). That means, g.proj, r.in.gdal, r.external, v.in.ogr, v.external need updates, and the mechanism of conversion between different formats of CRS definitions in lib/proj needs to be largely rewritten.
