The "can replace both" is a bit confusing as I am not sure what the
second item in "both" refers to.  What about

    If you indent to use `tab-bar-mode' with `winner-mode', we recommend
    to use `tab-bar-history-mode' instead which provides tab-specific
    window configuration history and is better behaved when
    `tab-bar-mode' is turned on.
