In the GeneratePress documentation I find only 2 posts without multisite
-> Child Theme Issues - Documentation

Hi there,
although its a general good practice to add a child theme, it is only really necessary if you intend to customize any of the the Theme templates. Other good reasons is if you're writing a lot of CSS or complex functions.
If this doesn't apply then no child theme is necessary.
Hello
Thanks for answer

You just need to follow the instructions here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
In doing so the child theme will apply to all sites on the multi-site.
