Not trying to poke holes in your solution (because it does work) but it seems that there is not a separate user group to which to add trusted users. The lowest level local user group that has the autopatrol permission appears to be content moderators. The only other two local user groups that have it are admins and bots. So if you want to have a group you can hide in recent changes but not give any actual additional right to, you will need to ask staff to create a custom user group for the wiki. On the good side, this means you can have them assign just the autopatrol permission if you want so that such users cannot patrol edits themselves. A couple of global user groups have this arrangement.
