Currently, `org-emphasis-alist' works independently from `org-hide-emphasis-markers'.
Your patch will constitute a breaking change for users who removed
entries from `org-emphasis-alist', but still expect the markers to be
hidden.

You may instead introduce a new allowed value for
`org-hide-emphasis-markers' to hide markers for non-nil entries in
`org-emphasis-alist'. Maybe even allow the value to be an explicit list
of the markers to be hidden '("*" "_" ...).

And do note that the effect of `org-emphasis-alist' is purely visual -
Org still considers entries removed from the alist as markup. It is just
the display in Org buffers that is changed.
