Can I use hook-and-loop straps as well as the rack cable manager?
Yes. They perform complementary jobs.
The rack manager establishes the broad route through the cabinet; a reusable hook-and-loop strap can then keep a local group of cables together where that is useful.
The important distinction is restraint rather than compression.
A modest strap keeps the bundle orderly and remains easy to reopen later; hauling everything tight until the cabling behaves like one rigid object rather defeats the serviceability the manager was there to provide.
