I've been running an CentOS 6.x firewall/NAT router, using

I'm planning on upgrading that system to Fedora 30, and am wondering if I really,

need to figure out how to port my iptables ruleset to work with firewalld. Other than
the need to be up to date (I am originally from Kansas City), what're the advantages
of
firewalld?
Installing F30, adding iptables and my current ruleset, and disabling firewalld looks
very simple and quick. Why shouldn't I do it?
If necessary, I can post an anonymized copy of the iptables ruleset on pastbin, but
really looking for higher level advice.
Not necessary. But not everything you'll need will be installed by default.
You'll need iptables-services:
Description : iptables services for IPv4 and IPv6
:
: This package provides the services iptables and ip6tables that have
: been split out of the base package since they are not active by
: default anymore.
At the very least. (Actually, that may be all that you'll need)
