If you're using aliases in scripts, then just stop doing that.
There's no need for it, it just makes your script harder to
follow. Simply expand any aliases you"d use interactively,
and you will no longer care about this.
There's no problem with using aliases in private scripts you write for your
own purposes. If you want to impose some personal style you find easier to
read, so be it. Even advocating for that style is ok, if you don't expect
to be taken seriously unless you provide evidence of concrete benefits.
The issue is expecting others to understand or be able to help with scripts
written in that style, or expect them to invest time learning it. That's
just not reasonable.
