In Babylon 5, you actually meet and converse with the aliens.

In the Expanse, you do not.

SPOILERS.

In B5 the only thing close to ineffable alien were the ones that went beyond the rim. Most of the day-to-day aliens were stand-ins for human nations and cultures.

The OPA and Mars were effectively the day-to-day aliens for the Expanse. The gate-builders were the ineffable aliens.
