No. I just (mis)typed those "files" here. In practice they contain quite
a lot more than that.

I moved my variable assignments to ~/.environment.sh and source that to
~/.profile and ~/.xsession.

(EnvironmentFile's primary description is in systemd.exec(5).)
Doesn't work well with services that need X session which sets DISPLAY,
XAUTHORITY, GPG_AGENT_INFO, SSH_AUTH_SOCK and maybe other things. Some
of them have no static values. So, it's simpler to have things like:
~/.xsession:
. ~/.environment.sh # Import my variables.
systemctl --user import-environment
systemctl --user start [service-that-needs-X-session-environment]
my-window-manager
systemctl --user stop [service-that-needs-X-session-environment]
