I don't think it would be redundant, as the Tamron is a macro.  However,
coupled with your other msg re 100/2 Zuiko, my suggestion would be sell both
100s (the 100/2 is a much sought after lens and should bring a good price).
Then take the $$$s and buy a Zuiko 90/2 macro.  It outperforms the Tamron
and is a stop faster. You may even find the 50/3.5 is then redundant and
could sell that too.
