Tor Browser accepts session cookies. It won't have an established google identity, but it fully supports a temporary "solved the captcha" identity.

What prevents a botnet from sharing that same session cookie?

A botnet doesn't need Tor in the first place. And you can limit the use of a single captcha solution. It's not much different from the problem of a legitimate google account being borrowed by a bot.
