No, what doesn't allow users to use both at the same time is vim not supporting
it, which is why python3 support was added as a split package in the first
place. If you believe that that's changed and that the vim docs are now out of
date, please do test it extensively and show your results

From <http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/if_pyth.html#python3>:
| When Python 2 and Python 3 are both supported they must be loaded dynamically.

| When doing this on Linux/Unix systems and importing global symbols, this leads
| to a crash when the second Python version is used."
