This requires an implicit solvent model, which GROMACS doesn't do, and so
no force field for GROMACS is fit to work with an implicit solvent model
anywhere else either.

You could do this, but it won't work and nobody will spend time helping
you to do it. Force fields are parameterized to reproduce some
experimental values under various conditions. You're proposing to change
those conditions radically. You need to find some lipid parameters
suitable for your problem conditions. I'd also suggest doing some more
background reading on molecular dynamics, since this is pretty basic
stuff.
