In my personal experience, this is true as of December 2023 in Economy using AS points
Dec-01 NRT-TPE - US Call Center assigned "forward" seats
Dec-08 TPE-NRT
We hope this message finds you well. We would like to inform you that, due to the unique conditions of the Alaska Airlines Award Program, STARLUX is currently unable to assist with seat selection at this moment. If you would like to select your seats, we kindly request that you contact STARLUX 48 hours to 3 hours prior of your flight departure. Seats assignment is subject to availability.
