Everything I use works fine with Alsa, and without pulse, that includes even Firefox (Arch built one needed some tweaks before, but they are no longer required, apparently Arch is building Firefox with "--enable-alsa"). As mentioned, I don't use pulse, and haven't ever done so... And I don't use apulse either (I haven't found the need).
However I don't think it matters much if something is supported by alsa or not, if for example there are no volume controller applications around pipewire yet. The only ones I've read can help are pulse audio ones, meaning one still needs the pipewire pulse plugin. One can get rid of it once there's a native pipewire audio volume controller. Well, I guess one can still use alsamixer to globally control volume, but then why using pipewire on top (leaving wayland out of the picture)? To avoid pipewire-pulse, that's what I think I need at least, since the rest is covered by alsa so far (though things tend to change).
