My biggest questions about this use case surround the layout changes that are 
baked into gregorian.ly, for example:

    \layout {
    %% ...
        \context {
          \Score
    %% ...
          \override SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##t
    %% ...

Either you want this or you don't.  If you don't, your current choices are to 
forego gregorian.ly and copy the subset that is useful into your own file, or 
include gregorian.ly and counteract selected things like this.

There are already comments in gregorian.ly to the effect that it should be 
split into multiple files, and I can't say I disagree in the light of this use 
case.
