We have actually seen people use their semblence without aura. During the Qrow vs Tyrian fight, a wooden plank fell on Ruby but at that point Qrow's aura was broken. We know for sure because literally 1 second later Tyrian stung him which wouldn't have happened if he still had aura.

Also Yang used her semblence in the Yang character short right after her the Ursa broke her aura. Her aura broke while in the mouth and she didn't use her semblence until she hit the tree otherwise she would have dealt double damage to the tree.
