You are correct that DMARC requires a valid DKIM signature aligned with
the From: domain OR a valid  SPF ...

SPF itself requires that the envelope from domain's  SPF record permit
the sending server, but DMARC places an additional requirement that the
valid SPF domain, which by definition of SPF is the envelope from
domain, align with the domain of the From: header.
