For this kind of thing we'd not have a SQLAlchemy "dialect", there are potentially ways that some parts of the SQLAlchemy ORM can be made to integrate with non-relational backends, specifically unit of work hooks that can take advantage of the ability to track changes to a Python object and "flush" them out to a backend. But even there, the main advantage would be that an application could integrate across a relational and non-relational backend simultaneously - if you were only talking to a NoSQL db, you'd probably use some other package.
If I had unlimited development resources, I might break out that part of the SQLAlchemy ORM that does "object instrumentation" and change tracking into it's own product, which could then be used in different ways. If for no other reason than to not have any packages with the word "SQL" in them if we aren't actually using any relational DBs :). For the querying side of things and obviously the "schema" side, there's no overlap between SQLAlchemy and such a system.
