Any instance of the other meaning?

If you mean like a public display such as one might find at a museum or art gallery? Nope, all the "exhibition" tagged images are of the character showing themselves off, though now that I think of it most of them are solo (and a few misuses beyond this alias suggestion).

I noticed recently that the exhibitionism tag in general is a mess, I'm going to go through it soon and hopefully get it up to standards. Probably gonna check through being_watched and voyeur as well to see if there's a problem there too.

Haven't looked, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least some mix-up or not understanding the difference (non-sexual vs sexual, in this case).

In any case, the more I think of it this alias suggestion should probably be shelved for now, if not outright shut down with a denial.

That would be great.
It used to be even more of a mess, and I don't think anyone sorted through the whole tag back when the usage was clarified. So there must be a lot of old mistags left.

I doubt many people tag non-sexual things as voyeur, however I could imagine them getting the being_watched tag instead, but you can't really blame people for that.

The problem with exhibitionism is that people tend to use that in a broader sense than intended here, e.g. they use it in exchange for/addition to public, presenting, outside, public_nudity etc. But I'm not sure if it's fixable in the long run...

But it's not really a bad suggestion, it's hard to think of everything, the problem would as mentioned be related to the noun. Currently those are tagged as exhibit.
