I understand that device aliases (e.g. eth2:3) are not shapeable. Does anybody know if this functionality is planned in the future?

None of the new(er) networking tools recognise device aliases, because on all recent linux releases, aliases don't exist. the ethX:X notation is a legacy notation used only by the ifconfig program. everything else just sees a ethX with more than one IP address.

So you just run your shaping rules on the real interfaces, and restrict
it's operation with IP address filtering.
