The systemd service is not running as is not started.
Different is that you added rules by other means (like the ADSL script
you mentioned), but that is outside of the control of systemd
i.e, there is no way for systemd to know if you added rules, since the
service is just a one-shot run of `nft -f [...]`.

Closing this bug now. Feel free to reopen if you would lie to further discuss.
