I think the issue is not the Grain, I've been having this issue for a while now using most PluginEverything tools, Chromatic Abberation (the old & updated versions both) as well as Displacer Pro, and FXAA.. it seems the issue has to do with the way the plugins deal with read-parameters pre-pixel render.. I already contacted James and the team, still waiting for further updates for the bug.

While the effects you use are great, you start off by saying "they are built-in so we all have them" but Deep Glow and the Sapphire suite are to be purchased separately. I personally have used Deep Glow and like the ease of use but for viewers that are not able to spend cash on plugins I have found that mixing a couple of pre-comps with different amounts of blur with their blending mode set to Add can get you a very similar glow effect without any third party plugins but with some more manual work.
I'm just writing this to help others as otherwise this is a great video.
