Seeing how the "Turn on Wi-fi automatically" option isn't working yet does anyone have a workaround/solution? Ideally I would want Wifi to turn on again when I'm at home or in school.

Just keep tour wifi on?
Or use keymapper app.
Is this function still not working? It does not seem to work on Pixel 6.
You can use Automation app with unrestricted battery. You need to give it location access and based on your location add trigger to toggle wifi on

It works with other things like battery notifications and others. I tried it, but not with wifi. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

If you have observed it not working, that is consistent with the status of the GitHub issue at the top of the thread. Subscribing to that issue might provide advance notice of progress and might register interest.
But since the issue was closed as "not planned" it is not likely to be fixed soon. For example, one might imagine the GrapheneOS developers would prioritize tablet support before this.
Best solution for me that I could figure out was to use a short timeout for Settings -> Network and internet -> Internet -> Network preferences -> Turn off Wi-Fi automatically to turn off my wifi when I'm not connected to a network, and https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.j4velin.wifiAutoOff/ to turn on my wifi every so often.
That way my wifi is only on for short periods, and will automatically connect to the networks I want in that time if they're available. This solution uses as much built in GrapheneOS functionality as possible, and doesn't require location permissions + having my location services constantly enabled as I would if I used Tasker / Easer / any other automation app I know of.
Not sure how much of an impact all this is really going to have on battery life though, since I'm mostly at home and connected to my home wifi. I suppose I could just leave my wifi on all the time and it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Probably not the best approach for privacy either. The best option there for now would be to just get better at managing stuff manually, at least until there is some kind of network location service implemented in GrapheneOS to make the built in wifi automation work properly. But I'm willing to make the trade for convenience in that regard.
