Google runs multiple outbound pools, but mail is not separated by GSuite vs
Gmail.  It turns out, GSuite customers are not universally non-spammy, nor
are they any less likely to get hijacked or phished, or have their machines
compromised. I think all of the ISP GSuite customers are gone, but there
are plenty of student accounts or small businesses who don't know that spam
is spam, or plenty of sales/marketing folks at larger customers who think
they know better (we even have this issue for google.com).

We use different pools per service, and different pools for suspicious
outbound mail.  Our inbound systems can certainly tell the difference
between our outbound IPs, generating reputations that align to our
expectations, so I presume that others can as well.

The different customers are differentiated by DK and SPF auth domains,
perhaps that would be a better choice for adapting your spam filters than
IP address.
