Possibility to convert shorewall to create nftables is not needed as
long as iptable-nft is maintained. And two years ago when I checked
shorewall codebase, huge amount of that is legacy. There is lots of
code to handle module loading, legacy iptables versions, etc. Those are
not at all required in any modern linux system.

Foomuuri is not systemd specific. It is something like one hour work to
make foomuuri work with OpenRC/sysv/whatever + cron, if somebody wants
that. You only need to create init scripts to start the services, and
convert timer+service combinations to cron entries. Actual program
doesn't have any hard systemd dependencies.
