Do the examples in the NodeEvent help page work at all?

https://doc.sccode.org/Reference/NodeEvent.html

has this non-working example:

g = (id: 2).group;
g.play; // ERROR: Message 'defaultGroup' not understood
a = (group: 2).synth;
a.play; // FAILURE IN SERVER /s_new Group 2 not found
g.release;
g.stop;

I see the one further down the page

// define a multiple Group event
g = (id: [2,3,4,5,6], group: 0, addAction: 1).group;
g.play; // play it

actually creates those groups, so probably it needs group: 0, i.e. the parent group specified.

However, the following lines also have problmes:

// make a Synth event
b = ( freq: [500,510], group: [2,3]).synth;
b.play;

The synths don’t actually get created in those groups:

AFAIK node events are a largely abandoned way of doing things.

I see the documentation on main Event help page says “This is experimental, does not work consistently yet.” about Event.group.
