However, the rules for scripts or functions invoking aliases are
considerably more convoluted.

Scripts can use aliases if the aliases are defined in a startup file
that the script loads, but any script using "zsh -f" will not load any
such files, so in practice scripts usually cannot use aliases.

Functions can use aliases (in general) if the alias is defined before
the function.  There's a whole section on this in the FAQ document.
