I am not sure of any but some english dialects might use i to mark word stress which could make it phonemic? Im reaching a bit here but i know i read some analysis of some english dialect doing this with ejective versus modal voiceless stops but i cant find it lol and its hard to find these studies and writeups, i usually just read them and then can never find them again. Another good candidate would be some asian, especially south and east asian language that often have required unreleased stops at the ends of words which sre required for your pronounciation to sound correct, so thats halfway there, now there just has to be one that actually contrasts them. But overall in most cases that i know of the release is simply replaced with something else, like in affricates but in some languages there are such things as oral(the normal release), fricative(those make the affricates), nasal, lateral and glottal releases. Dont ask me about glottal releases, i have no idea how those work, im not good with the glottal stuff but for lateral and nasal releases you can imagine what english does(depending on your dialect) with clusters where there is a t and an l or an n right after(idk if there are ones with n). You actually dont release those like in the word “atlantic” and yes we got em, wiktionary transcribes it as [ætˈlæɾ̃.ɪk], which once again doesnt even matter cause im sure a lot of people pronounce it that way but [æt̚ˈlæɾ̃.ɪk] would also be correct. But once again linguistics is a huge circle jerk, so never take anything seriously related to it. Theres the swedish sj sound or /ɧ/ which is a completely brainfuck but im not gonna get into it but basically they have a unique ipa symbol for a swedish sound that has like 20 ways of getting pronounced based on dialect and the sorrounding sounds, has something like 50 ways of being written(im not kidding here) and some of the most excepted ways of describing it with more narrow ipa transcriptions are humanly impossible to pronounce 💀
