Firewalld was deployed in EL7 , because they got plans of getting rid of iptables.
With EL8 , we got only emulation of iptables for backward compatibility.
Also the integration between NetworkManager.service and firewalld is quite good - which
is another reason behind that.
Last but not least, in the enterprise almost all systems are with firewalld down and
behind hardware-based appliances and keeping the complex filtering away of the systems.
Thus firewalld is nice for simple tasks, while complex tasks require nftables ...
It makes sense and we have to deal with the changes or get extended support for as long as
possible :)

Same here. Our engine is configured to use iptables and works fine. I
really wish RedHat would stop trying to force firewalld on everything.
It isn't needed and causes issues with environments using the
puppetlabs-firewall module.
