Makes sense, sake isn’t common where my family is from and wouldn’t be found in products or homes so I never think to use it and don’t have any alcohol in my house lol.
I would say how I learned a standard stir fry sauce is mix of any combination of salty (soy sauce/tamari), sweet (sugar, mirin, etc), acid (rice wine vinegar, lime juice), and aromatics (garlic, ginger, onions, chili) thickened with cornstarch. Can optionally have oil in it but I don’t cook with oil for personal reasons.

Teriyaki only uses a pretty small amount of sake, so I think you could make a good version without it.
That does sound like a good basic stir fry sauce.
