Would most native speakers actually pronounce "rooves" differently from "roofs"?

I think so, but might depend on thier accent or dialect .

Is "grooves" already pronounced differently from a hypothetical "groofs"?

Thats a joke, groofs isn't actually a word(yet πŸ˜…), the singular of grooves is groove.
