Are alpine boots good for beginners who want to learn carving quickly?

Generally no. While alpine boots make carving easier once you have the technique, beginners lack the foundational skills to benefit from the precision. The stiff boots can actually hinder learning because they don't allow the ankle mobility that helps beginners find balance and recover from mistakes. Learn to carve on soft boots first, then transition to alpine equipment when you've developed solid technique and a genuine need for more edge performance.
