Just tried to run nix-alien and got an error:
$ nix run github:thiagokokada/nix-alien -- fa

It looks like the nixpkgs in your system does not match with the nixpkgs in the nix-alien (especially the nixpkgs database in nix-index-database is targeting the unstable while you're using stable). nix-alien in general will work better for unstable users since this is what nix-index-database targets.
You can manually edit /home/alex/.cache/nix-alien/dc2b7cd4-70c2-566b-9a99-933ef423d364/fhs-env/default.nix file to try to fix the issue manually.

There is no such requirement in the documentation. (There are no requirements.)
It's not obvious for a new user.

Will such edits be required in the future? Or starting from NixOS-23.11 nix-alien will keep compatibility further?

Yes, it isn't obvious sadly, but generally this works fine because it is not really likely that nixpkgs will mismatch that much that this causes problems.

There is no guarantee that this is not going to happen in the future, but I can say that this is unlikely to happen once 23.11 is released (unless there are other breaking changes in nixpkgs).
One thing that I have in mind is to make nix-alien aware of the current nixpkgs state, e.g.: pin the current nixpkgs version before generating the files.
This will need some changes in how we generate the files though, and I don't have time right now. But will look at this issue in the future again.
