Should I build a shitty bike to sit on the turbo trainer over winter or should I just use my road bike? Specifically, is it silly to use a decent group set on a turbo or will it not really wear out if used indoors? The road bike doesn't leave the house over winter.

Yes. Not because of drivetrain wear, but because of corrosion. Trying to keep a good bike clear of corrosive sweat will take longer than your training sessions, and probably fail anyway
