I don’t see the need for this new category of “requiredism;” most philosophical compatibilists have thought that free will required determinism. Van Inwagen calls the argument that free will requires determinism the “mind argument” (since there are apparently several papers in Mind from the mid 20th century all making versions of the argument), but it is quite clearly stated as early as Hume.
