In teaching people Clojure, non-intuitive behavior with use/require is the #1 problem for beginners, by a mile. I believe we need both ordinary function and macro versions, and I am pretty sure that a well- considered patch implementing this would be accepted.

SS: is require* an acceptable name for the function version?

Absolutely not!  Having 'require' as an ordinary function (not a
macro) is important for code-generating code.
