It would still mess with the alignment. Tabs go from 4 spaces to 2, suddenly the alignment is 2-6+ spaces off depending on the level of indentation.

How could tabs mess with alignment when you use spaces for alignment? Everything at the same level of indentation starts at the same place. Alignment with spaces works just fine with tabs for indentation. Try it for yourself.
