Sure, but have you ever used a screen reader? Support for aira markup is often limited and if you confuse things with semantically muddled HTML you're almost guaranteed to degrade accessibility.
The more basic and "standard" you can keep your HTML the less likely users using assistive technology will run into problems.
Aria is great, especially the basic stuff like aria-label, but where you can avoid using it you should.
I've worked on accessibility projects for years, treating aria as a source of truth or something that can be relied on isn't a good idea. We might get there eventually, but we're not there today.
