Besides the Heretic and Elites (and some Hunters) after the Great Schism, of course.

Basically, were any aliens once part of the Covenant and split off, even if it was just a handful of grunts?

I like the Mk V armor.

Yep, but besides the Seperatists, they were all brought back or destoyed.

These were:

Grunts
Ripa 'Moramee
More Grunts
Jackals
Elites
And then we got heretics and Seperatists.

I don't care. I really don't.

There were numerous small heretic groups (but they were right in the end) during the existence of the Covenant, but were quelled quickly, with nothing on the scale of the human Insurrection until the Gas Mine on Threshold during Halo 2.

You might consider the Jackals/Grunts in The Cole Protocol to fall under that category.

Reth (a jackal) led a group of Grunts on the planet near the Rubble. They bred illegally and worked with the humans. Although this idea's inception was from the Prophet of Truth, there were certainly still rebellious ideas amongst them.

Throughout the Grunts more-so than the Jackals. The Grunts left the rule of the prophets so they could breed on the Redoubt (a sort of settlement able to sustain large populations of Unggoy).

Other than that, there's not much I can think of.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

They were called Heretics.

UWG Great group, you should check it out.

In Contact Harvest a jackal shipmistress was going to steal artifacts, and then sell them on that black market, but she died before she could. Also Dadab, a grunt in Contact Harvest tried to kill Tartarus with his plasma pistol after his friend, Lighter Than Some, a huragok got killed. He only extremely hurt him, and then got his head bashed in by a gravity hammer. Some other stuff listed in above posts, and this are all I can think of.

If I remember correctly, in Halo 2 the Prophets mention that one of the previous Arbiters ended the Grunt Rebellion.

Nah, he was following orders from Truth himself. He couldn't be a rebel.

I don't mean Reth specifically (although he did show some thoughts of human sympathizing). I'm referring more to the Grunts. They were there to defy the Great Journey and Illegally breed.

At least that's what I took from it. They might have known of the deeper plot at hand, but from the looks of it, they were more interested in Unggoy prospering than in the word of the Prophets.
