We are trying to conditionalize what is required by a resource...

require => $bool-var ? {
true => [ list1 ],
false => [ list2 ],

is $bool-var really a boolean, or does it contain the text "true" or
"false"?
Guess what this prints out...
if "false" { notice("false is true") }
(Also note that hyphens in variable names only work in some versions,
and will not be supported going forward. You can change the '-' to '_').
The reason your first example produces undefined is that a string is
neither boolean true nor false when comparing.
The second example produces true for the string (with the meaning it is
not undefined) - it will always be true unless $boolean-var is undefined.
You can try
$boolean-var == "true" ? { true => ..., false => ...}
