1. Ubuntu Server ships without a firewall enabled. Do you think that's
a good policy? Should we turn off the firewall in Fedora Server
because Ubuntu Server does so?

2. Are you sure that nobody considers that critical?

"There is a lot of existing information about firewalls - along with
**a long-term raging debate on the need of a firewall on Ubuntu**. We
recommend you enable it because you have ports open if you are reading
this page."

Source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity#Firewall

So it's not critical, it's not enabled by default, and still they
recommend you to enable it (!).
