If you put lube on the patch, and I think you should as it will help waterproof them & help with loading, you must use a non-oily lube.
A test will have to be done.

I found 60 high quality Beeswax/40% Vaseline worked for me, for both on the patch and as a lube cookie. Mixed by volume.
The late, Great Paul Mathews wrote a few books on paper patching and his "work" saved me a LOT of experimenting.
He used 45% Beeswax, 55% Vaseline, but changed up and used a different one on the patch.

I would not glue the patches on - that will screw up your accuracy. If applied wet, then they will be fairly well stuck to the bullets. Dry patches will likely only tear when attempting to push them down the barrel.

The rifling should cut the patch from the bullet, allowing it to fly off in strips as the bullet leaves the muzzle.
If glued to the bullet with something like water glass, I assume the brittle water glass will fracture and some will come off, some might not. I cannot see any sort of gluing as being suitable.
It might work OK, I just can't see it happening. my opinion only.
If a grooved lubed round bullet will work for hunting, that is what I would use for hunting. Likely paper patches for target work, but if hunting, grooved lubed all the way.
The more lube the better.
I have had really good luck with my own lube, Beeswax60:40Vaseline, equal actually to Lyman's Black Powder Gold and SPG as well.
Buffalo Arms should have the commercial lubes.
