If she really were a fusion she would summon one weapon from one gemstone and a different kind of weapon from the other. Garnet's gems materialize identical gauntlets.

This isn't necessarily true! In Opal's case, she did not use Pearl's Spear or Amethyst's Whip exclusively...instead using a Giant Bow (which could be comprised of a spear-like arrow and a whip-like drawstring) and Sugilite who used the Mace (comprised of Amethyst's Whip and Garnet's Glove). Maybe the fusion of the two gems that comprised Garnet had two weapons that created a pair of Gloves to act as Garnet's?
