I'm going to agree with the others that said they didn't use aliases. I think the troubleshooting section really killed the viability of using aliases in the lab. I think you are much better served getting use to committing these common commands to muscle memory. The good thing is this translates well to the real world where you may not have aliases you are used to configured on production devices, or if you are a consulting engineer your clients probably don't have your aliases configured. Instead you are just really fast at the common commands.
One great command for reference that I haven't seen mentioned is "show ip alias". This command is better than show ip int br | exc unass for creating your tcl ping scripts because it will show you IP addresses assigned to the device including secondary address which would not show up on the other command.
