We use it standalone for our nodejs code. It does pull-in SQL alchemy, but who cares. I think what you are really asking is this - We don't autogenerate migrations from models, we write them explicitly. There is nothing even close enough in the nodejs world and we wanted to manage our dB properly. Incidentally, three other nodejs startups that I told this to, also started using Alembic for their migrations.
