The only important factor you want to decide putting grace notes
inside / outside tuplet is, whether tuplet bracket should enclose the
grace notes. For the duration of grace notes, you can use
\scaleDurations to scale them down to the length you want [1] .

About settings disturbed by grace note, it seems that's a well known
issue not going to be fixed. Settings are applied to real notes
afterwards but not during grace notes. \partial spacer plus invisible
bar might be the workaround you want.

If grace notes can stay out of tuplet bracket, in practice I found
\afterGrace attaching with \partial spacer looking much nicer than
\grace attaching with note afterwards.
