Other MS products offer the ability to group items together and layer. I have found call to need to push shapes to the back and metrics forward etc but find current workarounds cumbersome. Plus if you want to copy a layered visual (white box covering things etc) I have to recreate the whole thing instead of grouping

We have completed this idea!

You can read about it in our documentation: Use grouping in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

We have also implemented a maintain layer order feature in Sept 2020. Find more details: Power BI September 2020 Feature Summary | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

It would be useful. I think it is simple.

Also being able to set a group level filter.

RE: Ability to group and layer visuals

I agree. Would really be nice to group report header elements and copy across multiple pages. Likewise for a collection of reusable slicers.
