I would call your example redundant, but not in conflict. Both @required and @aria-required have true values. Likewise the following example is redundant but not in conflict.

  <input type="checkbox" aria-required="false"> <!-- @required is false (implicit) and @aria-required is also false (explicit) -->

However, the following examples are in conflict:

  <input type="checkbox" aria-required="true"> <!-- @required is false (implicit) and @aria-required is true (explicit) -->
  <input type="checkbox" required aria-required="false"> <!-- @required is true (explicit) and @aria-required is false (explicit) -->
