I was looking up sweet pork recipes and every one of them call for Coke or Dr. Pepper.
I avoid soda as much as possible because of questionable ingredients: specifically GMO corn syrup, sodium benzoate and caramel color.
Are there any safer substitutions I could use to achieve the same/similar flavor?

You know, in many countries you can definitely get soda that doesn't use any corn syrup (but rather - old fashioned cane sugar); not sure about the Sodium Benzoate though. Have you considered looking for a different brand of soda?

Apple juice is good with pork. The frozen cans of concentrate are cheap and perfect for this use.
Apple juice lacks the dark notes of cola. To get those I propose you add hoisin sauce. It is very sweet, a great mix with pork (I have some boneless ribs soaking in some right now awaiting the grill) and will lend the apple juice more of a dark sweet tone.
If you want to stay pure to your recipe, sub in one of the organic root beers on the market. They are easy to find and they will brag about how they don't do the stuff you dislike about Big Cola. Whole Foods has a store brand one you could use. Root beers vary a lot; try some first to make sure it has flavors you want for your pork.

I learned a recipe for a chicken dish from my mother. Her recipe also called for cola to create a sticky and caramelised sauce.
She taught me, however, that the cola could be replaced with fruit juice. Her preference was a mix of pineapple, mango, and orange juice. Shops where I live call this juice mix "tropical fruit" juice. It stands to reason, though, that any of the above juices individually, and maybe others, will work, too.
Here's an example of a recipe similar to what my mother taught me, supporting my claim of the juice helping to create the property sought by your question
