If your transfer switch also transfers the neutral, then there is no need.

If your transfer switch does not transfer the neutral, then you have the usual problem with the GFCI tripping. Lifting the ground on the house end of the cable at the generator inlet receptacle creates no danger or safety hazard. None. Zero. The only hazard is the code Nazis trying to throw books at you. Every circuit breaker, GFCI, AFCI, and other existing protection devices will all still work. There is no lost or disabled functionality that existed in the normal power configuration. The ground wire in your generator cable is intact and protecting the cable itself. Like if someone ran it over with a lawn mower or water got in it.

It doesn't meet perfect code requirements. But this is temporary, safe, emergency power.
Thank you so much for the advice.
