i believe it is fine for maybe one generation but wouldn't recommend it because any genetic flaws in the brother and sister may be more evident in the offspring. I would recommend splitting the two up and letting her use up the sperm she has so after that no more will be prodused
There come's a time in your life...

So don't worry about the people from the past because...
There was a reason they didn't make it to the future

usually the eggs should be a lot smaller hence the beardies size is smaller also, and the life expectancy is decreased. Think this is a 2nd or 3rd generation thing but I would not reconmend 1st gen as being absolutely fine either.
1.0 Burmese Python
1.0 Reticulated Python
1.2 Jungle Carpet Python (2 high yellow)
0.1 50 % Jungle Jaguar Carpet Python
1.2 Childrens Python
1.1 Grey Banded Kingsnakes (Both Blairs Phase)
1.0 Brazillian Rainbow Boa
0.2 Common Boa
1.0 Tokay Geckos
1.1 Chinese Cave Geckos
0.2 Leopard Geckos
0.1 Crested Gecko
0.1 Bearded Dragon (Citrus x Sandfire)
1.0 Sudanese Uromastyx
1.1 Veiled Chameleon
As above i believe its fine for the first generation... but if you take the 2nd generation and breed them back thats a huge no no. however 5 clutches of eggs is a lot, so his female must be so stressed, and theres also already plenty of baby beardies out there needing homes. personally if i was your friend i'd seperate them quickly.
