These are valid arguments, but to me rather arguments to move the firewall from DEFAULT_PACKAGES.router to DEFAULT_PACAKGES. That way they wouldn't have to be added separately on non-router devices. OpenWrt devices with DEVICE_TYPE=nas also don't come with a firewall by default AFAICT. I think if you feel the firewall should be included by default on a switch with only lan-facing ports, it would certainly make sense to include it on a NAS too.
