Per:

  You can create up to 30 email aliases for an individual, not counting
  the email aliases created automatically when you add domain aliases.

By "individual" they mean login, which could also be viewed as simply a
mailbox. Thus for a personal domain, you could simply create more
mailboxes, but there are limits on those: you get 10 with a
grandfathered-in free account, otherwise you'll pay $5/month per mailbox.

So it would seem aliases are not unlimited - at least not without costs.
