You're trying to use a given VRRP group ID twice on the same
VLAN/subinterface.  I'm not surprised that this doesn't commit -- the VRRP
protocol itself probably doesn't support such a configuration.  What will
work is using the same group ID multiple times on different
VLAN/subinterfaces within the same physical interface.

I have to say -- this is a recommendation from Juniper that I've never
understood.  We've used group 1 exclusively for years (with hundreds of
VLANs per interface in some cases) without issue.  Using separate group IDs
seems overly complex and unnecessary.  As long as your switches aren't
bleeding VLANs together there's no conceivable harm. (And if they do, having
the same group ID ensures you'll discover the problem quickly. :-)

To clarify for the original poster: there's no *hard limit* which will
prevent you from configuring 300 VRRP groups (with non-unique group IDs) on
one physical interface. (Even though the documentation said otherwise up
until 9.6.)  I would expect things to generally be okay with default timers
but I've never tried group counts in the hundreds with anything smaller than
an m40e.
