I'm using both Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer 2 in tandem without any issues.
Illustrator has a maximum artboard restricted size of 227 inches by 227 inches, and I do plenty of large format designs that go way beyond this.
I create in illustrator at a scaled down size, bring it into Affinity and scale it up to the correct size, and save it in whichever format I like.
Size restrictions bypassed....
