You need to move "Metronome_mark_engraver" from "Score" to the
first Staff of your "ChoirStaff/PianoStaff".  There is now way to use
this method to add it to the StaffGroup itself.
And IIRC you'll need to change something with the
"Staff_collecting_engraver" too.

Something like that:

\score {
  <<
    \new ChoirStaff <<
      \new Staff  \with {
        \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver"
        \consists "Staff_collecting_engraver"
      } {
        \tempo "Foo"
        c'1
      }
      \new Staff {
        \tempo "Foo"
        d'1
      }
    >>
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff  \with {
        \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver"
        \consists "Staff_collecting_engraver"
      } {
        \tempo "Foo"
        c'1
      }
      \new Staff {
        \tempo "Foo"
        d'1
      }
    >>
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \remove "Metronome_mark_engraver"
      \remove "Staff_collecting_engraver"
    }
  }
}


Cheers,
Xavier
