Yes, these two profiles are normally both loaded in the sense that the
shell scripts ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile and
~/.guix-home/setup-environment are sourced.

It depends on what you want to achieve. You could use also both at the
same time. I like to use only Guix home to manage the packages that I
need on a regular basis. However, this is mainly because I also have
some dotfiles in my home-environment. If you just want to declaratively
manage the packages you use, you could also do it with manifests¹.
Additionally, sometimes, when I need a package, that I presumably only
use once, I use ‘guix shell’² for it.
