Same sound, different diacritic position #20

Description
There exist pairs of segments that represent the exact same sounds but differ in the placement of diacritics: [j̊]/[j̥], [ŋ̊]/[ŋ̥], [d̥ʒ̊]/[d̥ʒ̥], etc. Shouldn't these be merged?
I also see transcriptions with stacked diacritics like [l̪̥], but if you allow superscript versions of canonically subscript diacritics at all, why not transcribe them like [l̪̊]?
And why is the devoiced diacritic the only one you use two different versions of? For example, it seems to me [ɹ̪̩] is better transcribed [ɹ̪̍] (again, if you allow superscript versions at all).
