Thanks for the additional info Shal.
I was interested in this topic myself because I thought I might want to change the name of one of my groups, following a potential change of a product name, but I decided against it for precisely these reasons (though as you point out I was wrong about the site URL).

Changing the Group Email Address also changes its site URL correspondingly. The two are always matched.

That, plus their bookmarks. Plus the corresponding email addresses in old messages and their address book. All good reasons to avoid changing the Group Email Address once the group has more than a few members.
