Freeing slice without knowing it’s size
I think you can use slice-dst which embed the size of the array in the heap allocation and returns a thin pointer

dyn_struct: create types whose size is determined at runtime using safe Rust
Take a look at these crates: - triomphe for creating Arc reference to unsized struct - pointer-utils also provides similar functionalities compared to your crate

Basedrop: A garbage collector for real-time audio in Rust
You might be interested in the unsize crate which provides a pattern to replace/supplement this on stable Rust. I don't think it's very like that CoerceUnsized is stabilized soon. There are a few other no-std crates that have already integrated this approach 1 2 although none with a release yet. It's also gotten some review from the black-magic channel on Discord if you're worried about soundness.

Dynamically Aligned Types?
I'm a shill, use my crates; numbers go up make me feel good.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dyn_struct and pointer-utils you can also consider the following projects:
deno - A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.
generational-arena - A safe arena allocator that allows deletion without suffering from the ABA problem by using generational indices.
triomphe - Fork of std::sync::Arc with lots of utilities useful for FFI
