Are there any updates on using Google Pay with GrapheneOS? If NFC payments are not possible, then are in-app or web purchases possible using Google Pay? And is there a way to maybe use it without signing into my account for every single Google app (will it maybe work in another profile even if it's in the background)?

You can use all the other features of Google Pay on GrapheneOS, just not NFC contactless card payments. It's unlikely that will change.
You can make NFC contactless card payments through your bank's app, if they happen to provide their own implementation, as opposed to relying on Google Pay.

You would need to use separate user profiles to achieve that.
- Edited
Only for GrapheneOS users based out of India, you can use PayTm app as an alternative for Google Pay NFC contactless card payments. There are multiple supported card types of various banks which are clearly mentioned in the app itself.
