Avoid Accidental Alliteration.
So what if it is not accidental? What if every constant starts with an F in a phrase?

Feeling frustratingly frosty after failed fornication. (five Fs)
Frustrated after failed fornication. (rule of three)

Maximum puppy. Now the reader definitely notices it. Does it stand up to scrutiny?
And does it stand out? If you use a lot of alliteration, maybe the reader is habituated to it.
And whose POV are we in? Are we in deep? Then you can blame the character for the alliteration. Does this character commonly play with words or use alliteration. Why? How does this fit with their personality?
So it absolutely ain't always avoid alliteration. It depends on the context.
