One approach might be to adjust your custom subviews to respond to whether they're being asked to display as a redaction.

For example, if you have a view that adds a piece of text within a red background, e.g.:

struct LabelView: View {
  var text: String

  var body: some View {
    Text(text)
       .padding()
       .background(Color.red)
  }
}

you could then adapt it to use grey when being redacted:

struct LabelView: View {
  @Environment(\.redactionReasons) var redactionReasons
  var text: String

  var body: some View {
    Text(text)
       .padding()
       .background(redactionReasons.contains(.placeholder) ? Color.gray : Color.red)
  }
}
