"We are not separatists trying to leave the Republic, we are loyalists trying to preserve democracy IN the Republic."
- Mon Mothma, 19 BBY

In the new canon books like rogue one novilisation they claim separatists were in the alliance. Cassian andor was from a separatist family and world. They needed experience

Rebel Alliance: We're fighting for the return of liberty and freedom to the galaxy.
Former Separatists: Including the freedom of self determination?
Rebel Alliance: We don't do that here.

The Separatists Alliance and The Rebel alliance needs to join forces to fight The Galatic empire.

Sometimes the enemy of my enemy still isn't my friend. Some differences just cannot be reconciled. Especially as the GCW was not a war where the very survival of the entire galactic society was at stake.
It's only during the Vong invasion that the galaxy finds itself facing an enemy that threatened them all universally in even the most broad ways. That Republicans and Imperials had more in common with each other than the new enemy and were forced by circumstance to work together.
During the GCW the Empire, as bad as it was, still had lines it wouldn't cross. Even Palpatine never sought to completely eradicate, enslave or absurd everyone that wasn't a Sith. And even he was willing to sign some treaties and work with other groups for mutual benefit. So the Rebels and former Separatists never found their backs against the wall to such an extent that they were forced to combine forces no matter what.

How do you think they felt about working with Luke Skywalker.

the empire would have been in deep trouble and danger if they fight the separatist

"Hrm, we're fighting a tyrranical empire, but we really dont want to seem like we support freedom. Obviously, you can only join us in fighting against tyranny if you accept our rule after we win"
