Just going to copy-paste from the 2019 version of unity docs (I think it is still relevant, if you happen to use DontDestroyOnLoad):
"It is recommended to avoid using DontDestroyOnLoad to persist manager GameObjects that you want to survive across scene loads. Instead, create a manager scene that has all your managers and use SceneManager.LoadScene(, LoadSceneMode.Additive) and SceneManager.UnloadScene to manage your game progress."

Loading an existing scene from script isn't described above, but it is supported.

From the manual: "Create With Unity > Create Gameplay > Scenes > Use scripts to edit multiple scenes"

Use scripts within the Editor

When using (or running) scripts within the Editor, use:

• Scene struct: Available both in the Editor and at runtime, Scene struct contains read-only properties that relate to the scene itself, such as name and asset path.
• EditorSceneManager API: This class is only available only in the Editor and has several functions to implement all the Multi-Scene editing features described in the pages Setup multiple scenes and Bake data in multiple scenes.
• SceneSetup utility class: A utility class that you can use to store information about a scene that is in the Hierarchy window.

Use runtime scripts

When using scripts at runtime to edit multiple scenes, use the functions in the SceneManager class such as LoadScene and UnloadScene.
