In my opinion, you can generally write very nice looking code even if the indentation of the multiline statement isn’t exactly matching the brace or whatever.
But as you say, you can still use spaces for alignment. I find it to be kinda meh because if the alignment has to change (like adding a longer variable name) you end up touching lines you didn’t otherwise have to in your diff.
Also, if we’re talking about editors doing nice things with tabs, I think you could make an editor look at the tab in and align things exactly how you want in rendering for a multiline statement.
