Perhaps I’m being too simple, but I run an LED from the base of the GPU fitting such that if it shows about 12-14Vdc in correct sequence, the LED lights and I know I can power the GPU contactor to the ship. Won’t that do?

Sure . . . as long as you have control of the power
being fed to the rest of the airplane. The system I
proposed a few minutes ago applies power to the ship's
battery as soon as you hook up the external power source . . .
which puts battery-bus powered things at-risk before
the battery master is turned on . . . and everything
else after the master is on. There is a fist
full of ways to connect, pre-test, control and protect
for the various ground power faults.
Reality of the ground power situation is that it's
seldom needed and then mostly under conditions
controlled by the owner/operator.
