If the name is assigned to a MAC then it will be stable regardless, on every boot.

This is not true.
The eth devices are numbered in the order they are discovered by the kernel.
That is why they can change on each boot if discovery timing has races.

Agreed, but this is not my point. I understand that the devices are initially named randomly,
but then the ifcfg scripts rename them based on the MAC, like
     DEVICE=eth1
     HWADDR=00:1b:21:3a:56:72

I thought that in the end, I can name the interfaces any way I want this way.

Nevertheless, if fedora is moving to nm I should redo my network configuration that way
and remove all the then unused (I assume) scripts.

Fedora moved to NM a very long time ago. Those ifcfg files were most likely already handled by NM and starting with F41, they won't work at all. Automatic conversion to keyfiles was added in F39 and should have happened when you upgraded to F40.
