I'm using Brandt and Roemer chord names instead of the built-in Ignatzek chord names, using chordNameExceptions for that purpose. It looks like ChordGrid doesn't follow chordNameExceptions. Am I doing something wrong, or is that intentional? Is there another way to supply my own chord names in the ChordGrid context?

Although you have a working solution, there's something strange.
Consider:

\version "2.27.2"

myExceptionMusic = {
  <c e gis>-\markup \super { "5<" }
}

myException =
  #(append
     (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myExceptionMusic #t)
     ignatzekExceptions)

\score {
  \new ChordGrid \chordmode { c1:1.3.5+ }
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      chordNameExceptions = \myException
    }
  }
}

\score {
  \new ChordGrid \chordmode {
    \set Score.chordNameExceptions = \myException
    c1:1.3.5+
  }
  \layout { }
}

I've no clue why the outcome is different. (Image attached)
