I switched to Alacritty+tmux on macOS about 2 months back. The only complaint I have is a tmux one (nested tmux sessions suck.)

Curious, what are the limits you see with having to use tmux?

Not that theres a particular limit, just that its unbearably slow. To the point of it being pretty much unusable if you spend significant time of your work in a terminal text editor.

This is an issue with tmux on macos to be clear, not with alacritty, but it kinda is related as alacritty doesn't come with any window management features so you kinda have to use tmux..

Just checked out the project repo, seems like the warning is still there on the faq[1], so I'm guessing it is still the same.
