This seems to be the end of the road, unless Google increases the reCAPTCHA quota of Yahoo Groups.

Let Google and Verizon Media know with a tweet:

It works fine now, I have been joining groups for some hours.

That's great! Thanks to whoever fixed this - at e.g. Google or Verizon.

Seems like something Google could fix quickly.
