When setting the permissions of the public link share to "Editable" it immediately starts working again:
As of now it is unclear if the problem is in the code of the Previewgenerator app or the Groupfolders app. There's also an issue over there: nextcloud/groupfolders#2740

Research direction
No file or test is named. First reproduce the 404 with a read-only public link to a folder inside a Groupfolder, compare it with an editable link, and inspect the browser console; then compare the Previewgenerator behavior with nextcloud/groupfolders#2740. Done means previews load successfully for the read-only link and the responsible app is identified.
