The group checkbox, imho, should *not always* switch children on/off. You
should have a modifier to get this as a secondary behavior, like pressing the
ctrl key when (un)checking the group checkbox. The primary behavior of the
group switch should be to make the children invisible or visible, regardless of
the children's visibility being on or off.
In the primary behavior when the parent is turned OFF, the children are not
drawn but retain their checked or uncheck status.
If you use the secondary behavior then unchecking the parent will uncheck the
children. Same would apply when checking the parent on.
Agreed, sounds like a sensible behavior to me.
The problem I see is that we have layers visible in the canvas that
are unchecked, because their group is checked. Maybe an unchecked
layer should show a partly checked state in that case.
No no, I don't think so. The only way for layers to be visible in the canvas
would be for both them and all their ancestor groups to be checked.
That's my understanding of the suggested behavior.
That's how I understand it, too.
So if there's a problem of sync between checked status of a layer
and its visibility on the canvas is the contrary one: a layer can
be checked _but_ not visible because any of its ancestors are unchecked.
This is the opposite from what I described. I think of the user
experience. We would have these two cases:
1) Group is checked and although layer is unchecked it is visible
2) Group is unchecked and although layer is checked it is not visible
We could use the partial check for both cases indicating to the user
that the layer visibility is overridden by the group visibility.

A "partially checked" kind of visual feedback could be useful for
those cases: whenever a group is unchecked, all checked discendent
become "half-checked" and you can only switch between unchecked
and half-checked by acting on a single layer in that state.
