After following official USB boot instruction I was able to write program_usb_boot_mode=1 to OTP and boot from USB. But it looks like am not able to boot from SD-card anymore. Are these options mutually exclusive?

Edit: I have a model Pi 3 Model B and by mutually exclusive I mean that after enabling USB boot one no longer is able to boot via SD-card.

Yes, they are mutually exclusive and the change is permanent.

No. (Although this depends on what you mean by mutually exclusive - booting or setting OTP bit.)

You don’t say which model Pi you have; the instructions to set the OTP bit only apply to the Pi3.

The OTP bit is set by default on the Pi3B+ (as vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17: shows) but it boots from SD Card if no device is detected within 5 seconds.
