Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

Both are correct, imo. However, it's hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

I can't think of another word where spelling it correctly isn't enough. One must also convey the way they pronounce the word too. The people need to know.

An example of a word where spelling it correctly doesn't convey how to pronounce it is colonel

Yes, but you didn't feel the need to add a note about how you pronounced it just now. And I don't care if you know how to say it right. Doesn't matter in text.
