In the link you provide above you do see...

"The actual static firewall model with system-config-firewall and lokkit will still be available and usable, but not at the same time as the daemon is running. The user or admin can decide which firewall solution should be used by enabling the corresponding services."

FWIW, even firewalld does use "iptables", just in a manner which allows dynamic changes without having to unload/reload kernel modules.
