As an alternative and as long as it's not for main content, I'm okay with horizontal scrolling sections where you can partially see the next item as a hint that it's scrollable e.g. the iOS and Android store pages use this for screenshots.
You can code this with basic CSS too unlike most carousel behaviours that have complex code for simulating scrolling and looping. If you check the open/closed GitHub issues on most carousel plugins, you'll see what a big source of bugs they are.
