Yes, loading both patterns at once is definitely the correct approach.
That's what the rest of the TeX world already does (at least LuaTeX
and XeTeX; pdfTeX not of course), see
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/blob/master/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/loadhyph/loadhyph-sr-latn.tex
We have two sets of Cyrillic patterns (and several Latin ones as
well), so composing a single file was a bit of a (somewhat political)
challenge.
Now at least in theory the users are free to choose which of the two
sets of patterns they want.
I never checked what ConTeXt was doing with the Serbian patterns.
Personally I would suggest taking hyph-sh-cyrl.pat.txt and hyph-sh-latn.pat.txt.
