Merge conflict in general is fine
What's really bad is if someone drastically changed the implementation of something which you've also changed and if you completely need to rework it…
That's not a merge conflict, that's a management conflict.
Oh, I mean I was talking about Open Source projects. If you just work privately and don't say at some kind of central place (like a Discord or Matrix server) on what you're working on, then it can easily happen that just two people do that at the same time without knowing of each other.
