Please checkout the following advertisement.
Most Wetroom/shower tray failures happen where the grout cracks, usually corners, so I always make sure that tanking covers the complete shower area including up the walls.

But corners and perimeter joints should be siliconed, not grouted

the tanking kit comes with a semi curing silicone which I apply to all the joins before any tile is done, horrible stuff. I do grout my corners, then clear silicone over once dry

Most failures I see are due to water sitting beneath the tiles and degrading the (usually spot-fixed) https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/. That, and silicone around the drain which prevents sub-surface drainage.
Not a problem which is even possible with Schluter drains.

I assume you suggesting colour matching the silicon with the grout, I can see the logic in this.
