I've tried to add aliases to the .bashrc and .bash_profile in the ~/home/nemo folder, but for some reason they are not recognized. However if I add them from the CLI, they work for the time of the bash session at the time. Has anyone succeeded in adding persistent aliases to bash profiles?

Probably completely missing the mark since I do not have a Jolla and base this entirely on my experience with the N900 (not even N9) but...
Do you have ,profile in the user's home dir? I didn't and my .bashrc updates were ignored too. There was one in /root that basically checked if .bashrc existed and if so, ran it. Copying that across with minor changes (e.g. not adding root stuff to PATH) solved the problem.
As I say, possibly irrelevant but at least I have bumped your thread for someone more erudite to give you a better answer.

From the bash man page:
According to this, .bash_profile has precedence for the login shell over .profile, so not sure why it fails for you.

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc.
