My thinking is yeah they can be used. For example, the aria-required attribute is used dynamically with JavaScript for better functionality.

Hello,
To add aria attributes and other type of attributes, is the basement of javascript accessibility extensions (like the WebAccessibilizer that I am the author).
Example:
var elm = document.getElementById("input");
// to attach an aria label to that element
elm.setAttribute("aria-label", "Enter your name");
// to deactivate the checking of grammatical error in that field
elm.setAttribute("spellcheck", "false");
