I want to only save customizations of a certain custom-group (and it's
member hierarchy) to custom-file.
I don't want to dump out all these unrelated variables to this
separate custom-file as well.

But all this seems a bit contorted.
It's really hard to find the way through custom.

Seems like custom needs an emergency repair mechanism.
