I've been using a template for a group of documents but now realize one
subgroup is different and needs its own separate template. Can I copy the
template with a new name and attach it to these documents? What kind of scary
hidden dependencies can I expect?

There should be no problem with this.

Yes, you can do exactly that. The only "scary hidden dependency" or
anything like that is to make sure the "Automatically update styles"
box in the Templates & Add-Ins dialog is unchecked except when you
specifically want to update the document's styles to use different
definitions from the newly attached template.

For a good discussion of this, see
