So, spreading out a groundsheet & repairing on top of that might be very worthwhile.

We did the otherway around – we used a car windscreen sun-cover as our picnic blanket, and also as a tent groundsheet on hard surfaces.

However, we tend to use now an extra tent groundsheet, and a separate picnic sheet.
We lay our picnic sheet in front of the tent, and put all stuff there before packing into the tent in the evening, and the next morning when we leave, we also collect all stuff there, before mounting them on the bike. So our picnic sheet is the first to go, and the last to go.
The alu-layer adds heat isolation.

You could share some more ideas about multi-use on bicycle tours. I’m looking into tips to find multiple uses for items, so I can unclutter our touring gear a bit further.
