Fail2ban is designed to not interact with other netfilter based solutions. Firewalld is a firewall - it only inspects packets and can do some basic processing of ip traffic like blocking by port. Firewalld doesn't monitor your logs which fail2ban does to know about attempts to log in to your system. So this two tools doesn't exclude each other.
