While I quite like that style, now you have to convince people to never align, before you can convince them to use tabs.

I've not seen any large public code-bases uses this style, so it's hard to know how well it works in practice. Do you know of any major projects with a 'no alignment' requirement?

MediaWiki uses tabs for indentation and discourages alignment. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions
