I think Georgian does so, too.
What regards my own conlang Old Albic, the tense/aspect/mood
markers are monofunctional and mostly agglutinative, but
tense is only distinguished in the imperfective indicative,
while the perfective indicative (aorist) and the two
subjunctives (imperfective and perfective) do not distinguish
tenses.
