The default ~/.profile on Debian already has:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
Now you just have to make sure whatever method you use to start X is
also sourcing ~/.environment.

Depends on what you want to achieve. Because you put $HOME/bin at the
end of $PATH (instead of in front as ~/.environment does) a script with
the same name in one of the other directories will take precedence over
yours, which may or may not be what you want.
This is not a problem in your particular case[1], but might bite you
when you're trying to override a system script or binary with your own.
[1] according to apt-file there is no 'i3exit' file in Debian.
Kind regards,
