I prefer to have the SWG on the same breaker (and timer) with the pump; that way, if the pump craps out for some reason the SWG is not running. Dangerous situations arise when a SWG is running with no water flow.
Interesting. My pool was installed in 2017 and they only GFI'd the lights and the outlets. The inspector told me nothing else was required to be GFI'd, just bonded. Bonding was the big deal. (Maryland)

Likely the 2017 NEC had not yet been adopted in your area. It often takes a few years.
NEC gets revised every 3 years. So there is a 2017 version, 2014 version, 2011 version, 2008 version, etc. It is up to local governing bodies to declare what version they are following. They often lag and sometimes skip adopting versions.
I don't believe that the SWCG has to be GFCI protected??? It can't hurt, but can't see why it would be needed as cell does not have anything but low voltage DC going to it.
