To complement Ian's reply, this is perfectly possible.
For instance,
guix package -u icecat
will upgrade only icecat.
guix package --do-not-upgrade ungoogled-chromium -u .
will upgrade all packages except for ungoogled-chromium (which can be
useful when there is no binary substitute yet and you prefer waiting a
bit more instead of compiling it locally).
Personally, I have all my software in one profile (about 90 packages),
and do not experience any problem.
If I need a different software just occasionally, I use
guix shell this-other-software
