Stacked bars are the right choice when you care more about the magnitude of the sum and less about the precise relative breakdown. Separate bars are the right choice when you're comparing multiple things that are similar and their combined magnitude isn't meaningful.

Could you have a the separate bars and a total line to capture both?

Yes, but it's busier/less information dense, so it's not a straight upgrade.
