Requiredism holds that determinism is an advantage to fee will because the connection between a decision and the resulting action is deterministic. Randomness, or at least, too much randomness in the wrong place, would prevent me from acting reliably on my decisions Of course, determinism also removes the elbow room, the ability to have decided differently, that is of such concern to libertarians. Determinism is only an overall advantage to free will if elbow room is unimportant or impossible, so Requiredism needs compatibilism as a starting point.
I don’t think it’s obvious that libertarian style elbow room, or CHDO, is unimportant or impossible, so I don’t think requiredism is obvious,.
It’s also pretty clear that 100% determinism doesn’t imply 100% reliability. If you reach to pick up a cup, and knock it over, that could be a determined event .. and of course, such errors are fairly common.Such considerations leads to an argument against reliablism: reliable action only needs a good enough level of determinism, because we don’t put decisions into practice with 100% success, and a good enough level of determinism is compatible with a small degree of indeterminism which could allow indeterministic free will.
