Oops ;-)

But you can assume that any ACK belongs to an established connection,
hence omitting -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED would achieve the
same.

Of course there are scenarios, like probe ACKs sent by nmap that
do not belong to any, or a conntrack router B which got rebooted
(and hence lost the connections that are still active between two
hosts A and C), but that should be real corner cases.
