Interesting. That would suggest that there was no attempt to start
Shorewall after the first reboot.

I just did a fresh install of 9.2 on a single-NIC system, installed and
configured Shorewall (one-interface example), and enabled Shorewall
using systemctl. A 'systemctl start shorewall' succeeded. I then
rebooted and observed that Shorewall started correctly, even though the
entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the single NIC specified
'allow-hotplug'.

So in summary, I am unable to reproduce your findings.
