MagSafe doesn’t break compatibility with any qi chargers, and you have the difficulty of alignment issue backwards. MagSafe is easier to align - that doesn’t mean magnetless qi is made worse.
Alignment is easier with MagSafe 2 MagSafe but aligning on Qi chargers is significantly harder. As one example automotive qi chargers, often in the center console, are regularly cited on automotive forums (in my experience) as not working with newer Apple products due to the more challenging alignment.
