It's recently come to my attention that the "git alias" config functionality

like a bad idea to me.

This ensures that the plumbing commands always work as expected.
As scripts *should* only use plumbing commands, the scripts should
work with high probability despite all the crazy user configuration/aliases.


I just disagree with this. If a user chooses to override their Git commands, it's their problem. Why should Git care about this? It should provide the user with the option to do this, and if the user ruins scripts because of their aliases, it is not Git's problem. What you are doing is taking away power from users to use git aliases to their full potential.
