Based on this question I would like to add a background around multiple tcboxeditemize environments from the tcolorbox package. In my MWE the tcboxeditemize rasters remains in the background and I only draw on the tikz layers. Is there any chance to get only the big gray rectangle in the background? Putting the whole thing in a tikzpicture environment does not seem to work.

You can use a raster of rasters. See section "14.6 Rasters inside Rasters". It's important to read it to understand what happens. You need a tcolorbox (tboxedraster in following code) inside the external raster.

In this case raster row skip can be applied to fix distance between rows, but as this option also affects inner boxes, a raster row skip=2mm has been included in myraster definition to keep default separation between inner rows.

        colback=gray,
        halign=center,
        raster halign=center,
    },
