 Did anybody ever assign UICs to users in the [2,*] ... [10,*] groups?

Hopefully not.

It seems to me that having lots of users with system-level privileges was
not a good idea back then, and is even less desirable nowadays.

As long as I can remember it has been considered best practice
to use personal accounts above that with SETPRV for priviliged
users.
I usually use groups 100, 101, ... and 200, 201, ..., but
probably no particular reason.
DECnet like 376 and TCP/IP like 3655.
