This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Toolset does not let me include user repeatable field groups. Do you know of any other way of doing it?
Solution:
Toolset Types plugin does not support "repeatable user field groups", since the "repeatable field groups" is based on post type relationship "One-to-Many", but wordpress user isn't a custom post type, so there isn't such a built-in feature.
As a workaround, you can create another post type, for example "member-information", each "member-information" post's author is different wordpress user, in "member-information" post type, setup the "repeatable field groups", see details here:

Hello,
This is English support forum, please submit the ticket in English.
I have tried to translate your questions into English with google translate:
I try to include in the user profiles a repetition field where you can periodically upload documents (payroll) and that they are available for download.
Toolset does not let me include repeat fields in field groups for users. Do you know of any other way of doing it?
Toolset custom user field group does support the "multiple-instances" custom user field, see screenshot:

I assume you are requesting the "repeatable user field groups".
If it is, then you are right, Toolset Types plugin does not support "repeatable user field groups", since the "repeatable field groups" is based on post type relationship "One-to-Many", but wordpress user isn't a custom post type, so there isn't such a built-in feature.
As a workaround, you can create another post type, for example "member-information", each "member-information" post's author is different wordpress user, in "member-information" post type, setup the "repeatable field groups".
Then, you will be able to create a page, display nested view:
1) parent post view:
- query "member-information" posts
- filter by post's author is current login-in user
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-author/
- and display below child post view
2) Child post view, query "repeatable field groups" posts,
- filter by the post type relationship
- and display "repeatable field groups" fields
