It’s not about making it a question, is about showing doubt.
“Jake should’ve been there last night (?), but I doesn’t have time to check.”
Sure there are ways to phrase that differently, but it’s the sort of message we can easily communicate with hand gestures and intonation, but fail with written word.
Yeah, that’s either two “sentences” or one statement imo!
The first part doesn’t even need to be a question. A suggestion like that would usually be a statement. If there’s enough rising intonation that it needs a question mark, there’s probably enough of a pause to justify having two sentences.
Either the whole thing is a question or you need to break it up.
I’m curious if you can convince me otherwise though!

Ah, I see. Like you suggested though, that’s definitely not a question (which is what the other comment said)
“Maybe we can meetup tomorrow? And I’d love to know what you want to do.”
Can be split up into two sentences but sometimes, when spoken, is said as a continuous sentence.
