Is there still a requirement to use only a non-reversible connection when it comes to gec's.
If so the split bolt may not be compliant but a crimp connection would be?

In the installation you describe a split bolt (listed as suitable for grounding and bonding) would be compliant. See 250.64(D)(1).
You could also use a common ground bar as allowed by 250.64(D)(1)(3). If you use this option the bar must be a busbar 1/4" X 2" X whatever required length to attach all GECs and jumpers. You can also use non crimp type connectors in this scenario as well.
Couldn't resist throwing the busbar idea out there.

You MUST have stock in a buss bar company
