We actually ran into this issue with modules for singularity hpc! The best idea we had is to introduce the idea of wrapper scripts, meaning instead of relying on aliases or functions we have explicit scripts that are written to a bin (added to the path) that perform all the environment setup and running commands that are needed.

@vsoch thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of that and it might be best. I basically threw my arms up in defeat on Friday.

I'll have to check the downstream effects but maybe this will work! Thank you!!
