I had a similar issue, which I solved by creating an index on the hash of the concatenation of the items, i.e.
somethinglike 

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX uk_gvoa_gi_ad ON test.groupedvuln_asset
     USING btree (sha256(group_id::bytea || hostip::bytea || macaddress::bytea || fqdn::bytea || scanid::bytea));

Not guaranteed to be 100% collision free, though, but should be sufficient for most real-world use cases.
