Grease Pencil Frames in Timeline
Currently there isn't a way to adjust 3D keyframes and 2D grease pencil keyframes at the same time.
E.g. Cannot move camera keyframes and grease pencil keyframes at the same time. Retiming the camera to match retimed grease pencil animation takes a lot more steps and slows down workflow.
My suggestion is to include an option in the timeline to include grease pencil frames with the other frames. The default can be off but having the choice to see both together would be integral for using the 3D side of blender with the 2D.

Implemented in version 3.3 developer.blender.org/rB92d7f9ac56e0
If you use the timeshift modifier?
The drawings in grease pencil don't have to be the final frames
I believe the timeshift can be helpful for changing the entire animations speed, but the issue I have is changing time between two grease pencil frames while the camera is moving. I now have to separately change the camera keyframes to match this new timing. Ideally I could move both types of frames together.
This really makes sense with combined views!
Do you know if this would be difficult to implement? It seems it should just be allowing grease pencil frames to show up, but maybe there's a more complicated issue? It seemed odd that it wasn't already implemented.
I truly don't know, but I thought it might be akin to the onion skinning in drawing mode? I am not a specialist in the codebase but focused on UX.
