I realize laundry aisle bleach has a lower concentration of sodium hypochlorite, but it also says 92.5% “other ingredients”, as compared to pool store chlorine which says “inert ingredients”. Should I be worried about any of the “other” ingredients if I use grocery store disinfecting bleach?

It is very difficult to find 'laundry aisle' bleach that does not have additives. Fabric Protection Technology (aka Cloromax in Clorox) is a chlorine resistant polymer you do not want to use in pools.
As Lorri said, the 'other' ingredient you state is water. But, be ware, it is very difficult to find 'plain' bleach in the laundry aisle.

As long as the label says regular and does NOT show splashless, scented, or fabric softeners, you should be fine. As Lorri noted, most of it is water anyways. Maybe a little sodium.
