Can aliens use it? What if the alien doesn’t have the equivalent of a head? Or if it’s a gas-based life form and doesn’t have a “physical body”? What if said alien had unique biological abilities (Kryptonian, Martian, etc)? Could Nabu use them, or would he be limited to magic? Can Mogo) “use” the helmet? Can a demon use it?

Detective Chimp briefly wore the helmet, and his head isn’t shaped like a human one. I think as long as you have something to wear it on, it’ll adjust.
Fate has to accept the wearer. I’d suggest asking Glorious Godfrey what it’s like if Fate doesn’t accept you, but Godfrey doesn’t talk or remember much since he put the helmet on.
I imagine there’s some kind of limit or the moment you take it off it would transfer itself to some microbe stuck on the inside of the helmet.
mostly likely any sentient being can use it(with Nabu’s go ahead)
that said I think Nabu prefers magically skilled hosts.
edit: if nabu wants it it likely can compensate for any differences in biology.
Personally I’d go with it working as long as you can fit your brain or brain equivalent into the helmet.
You also need to be compatible with Order Magic.
The helmet is a “living” thing. It has been shown to exist as just itself, or it’s self plus cape.
Ross wanted to use a dolphin as Dr.Fate in Kingdom Come but D.C said “no”!
Detective Chimp has worn it. Every human who has ever worn it has a different sized and shaped head, but all wearers have been humanoid.
Extra- dimensionals have supposedly worn it, so extra- terrestials should be able to.
D.C seem to suggest that any humanoid considered “worthy” can wear it, but saying no to a dolphin; only humanoids.
The mask CAN change shape. During W.W.2 Dr.Fate wore it in half mask form and was less powerful and more 2 fisted!
