I am not sure all that is necessary. I think you might just be able to remove groovyVersion from gradle.properties. The grails-gradle-plugin will swap out all groovy references to groovy 4 if the property groovyVersion is set.

Changes made

[jamesfredley]

Updated to just exclude to the very old Groovy dependency

        classpath 'io.github.groovylang.groovydoc:groovydoc-gradle-plugin:1.0.1', {
            exclude group:'org.codehaus.groovy'
        }

[jamesfredley]

Will be fixed by grails/grails-gradle-plugin#337

[jamesfredley]

The order of repositories and dependencies in buildscript{} is critical. grails-gradle-plugin must load first, since it fixes the Groovy version for other dependencies and that means is should come from the first repository on the list and be the first dependency listed under buildscript{}
