VSCO 2 CE has round robins (2RR) on all short articulations, at least if you are using the official SFZ implementation.
The main audible issue with not having RR is the attack profile remains the same; the actual sustain part being the same is not as audible unless it is very specific/inconsistent at the start. Just changing the sustain portion of the sample with EQ can help, but borrowing harmonics from another note will lead to problems if you are using non-phaselocked samples as the intonation will drift (though your idea might work with staccato samples).
One approach you can try is to overlay very start of the staccato samples with the sustain samples (just be careful because too much will audibly phase). You could similarly use attacks from other articulations as well. You can do all of this natively in SFZ using opcodes, or bake some "new" samples.
A fancier option with woodwinds and brass at least is to record separate articulations of just the attack/articulation (and possibly air) sound, without making a tone. The recordings do not need to be consistent with the originals and can simply be created at home. These can be overlaid onto the existing samples to provide a bit more variation, especially if in a different number of RR.
