I'm not a dev, but I don't think it's actually a hard requirement (at least in Firefox, which the TBB forks from) to write to local storage. I think other sites write to memory, if localdb write fails -- or I think that's what snort.social was looking at on their git issue, but I may be misremembering. In a privacy browser, persistence isn't really a good thing.
Since Alby is centralized (please correct me if I'm wrong -- looks like LUD16 addresses and you're requesting email conf), why not just throw a warning banner (that local storage is disable, and you'll have to either enable it or reenter your key after every browser restart)? May be worth thinking about what *must* be written, and what can be regenerated / re-polled, but I'm just a user.
Cheers.
