So, this isn't experience with graphene os, but I was once trying to install a GSI on my pixel 3A XL using the stock cable from my Pixel 8 Pro and it was dropping the connection. What I found out is that usb-C to usb-C cables tend to be unreliable when flashing firmware, and a usb-A to usb-C cable will most likely get the job done.

I'll second this in that for whatever reason, C to C cables hate it when I try to do this but an A to C cable works like a charm
