We know all scoring plays are reviewable this year, but aren't penalties that result in safeties (holding, intentional grounding, etc) not reviewable?

Well they would review whether the point of enforcement would lead to a safety (did the holding or whatever intentional grounding take place in the end zone) but they don't review if the score is a result of a bungled call.

I was just asking about the NFL and not the other leagues.

If I understand correctly: a safety by penalty could only be reviewed for intentional grounding, because the spot where the quarterback is when the ball is thrown is reviewable in relation to the LOS. If the review can place the spot of enforcement outside of the end zone, no safety. Any other aspects of a grounding call can not be reviewed.
Holding cannot be reviewed for its enforcement spot.
I cannot think of any other penalty that would result in a spot enforcement in the end zone, but I am sure there are. Only grounding and holding are the penalties I have seen resulting in a safety.

Holding,intentional grounding,or pretty much any other offensive fouls that occur in the end zone during the play would result in a safety. Fouls by the offense at the snap(illegal formation,illegal motion, etc.)would not result in a safety. The spot of any foul that results in a safety would not be reviewable.

Yeah, and now come to think of it, I've seen illegal batting/kicking, too, but those moves generally knock the ball out of the end zone anyway. But there are few other spot fouls that could possibly be in the end zone causing a safety.
I still believe that the spot of a pass ruled as grounding could be reviewed. The spot of the ball is reviewable as it relates to the sideline, end line, goal line, LOS, and line to gain. Therefore, why couldn't replay declare the spot of the pass to be in the field of play, and therefore not safety inducing?
We found out the limited circumstance of challenging pass interference, by reviewing whether a player tipped the ball on the pass rush.
