If we unban someone from our experience who originally got auto-banned for evasion, would they be banned again if they end up breaking the rules on another alternate account?

To be honest, the Ban API is one of the best features Roblox has added, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to stop rule-breakers, as there are still ways to bypass it.
For example, users can bypass bans using alts or different devices, even with the “Apply ban to all known alt accounts” option enabled. Some also use third-party programs, like MAC address changers. Some already reported this problems but with more details here: Post 1 and Post 2.
I feel game creators and staff should have more options like, IP ban option, an appeal system, and the ability to detect which alts were used. These improvements would make the system much more effective and improve safety.

I don’t know how you want to enforce that. Considering people change their MAC address, they sure can get their internet provider to change the public IP address of their router, in fact I can initiate this easily via an app on my phone. So from that, you have absolutely no solution to fix the issue : people will still manage to counteract safety systems, and bypass bans.
This issue isn’t only a Roblox issue, it is a worldwide one. The only “true” way to lower the amount of alts would be to make the account creation process a paid one. This may lower alt usage depending on the creation fees you put, however I do not have such metrics so this is to be verified thoroughly
