> What would be recommended solution?

I wouldn't have thought it makes any difference. The chip
GND is internally bonded to the tab and essentially they
are at the same potential

Note that GND is mis-leading. It's often called REF, as
that pin doesn't *have* to go directly to 0V. It can be
raised above 0V so that the o/p will higher by the same
amount (if i/p meets spec)
