With rustc 1.35.0-nightly (26b4cb484 2019-03-09)
The following code

type Bar = ();
async fn foo() -> Bar { }

produces the following warning

warning: type alias is never used: `Bar`                                  
 --> src/main.rs:3:1
  |
3 | type Bar = ();
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: #[warn(dead_code)] on by default

When Bar is clearly used here.
This seem to only trigger if the alias is used in the return type position

This is unrelated to async fn as one can reproduce with just impl Trait:

trait Trait {
    type Type;
}

impl Trait for () {
    type Type = ();
}

type Bar = ();
fn foo() -> impl Trait<Type = Bar> {}

fn main() {
    foo();
}
