I want to do some undervolting in Afterburner. I'm also running Hwinfo for other monitoring.

When enabling the functionality in Afterburner, the tooltip contains this warning:

Does this mean that running Afterburner for voltage control while Hwinfo is running too is dangerous?

Same tooltip for "voltage monitoring" as well.

No, just running programs that adjust settings, HWinfo does not, just displays. For instance, if you have control program from Nvidia or AMD, leave those at auto/defaults if using Afterburner for adjustments.
As for just monitoring, it may not show right and accurate data if multiple programs access sensors at same time but not dangerous in any way.
