That's the reason I do not use it, but create my own ruleset with
fwbuilder. OpenWRT's beuilt in firewall is just too simplistic for
advanced tasks.

I don't blame it for that - it is useful for many things. It just means
that you have to abandon it when its scope becomes too small. Putting
customs rules into /etc/firewall.user manually becomes unmanageable
after maybe half a dozen rules. I didn't even try, so I can't say if
this file is useful. I just retargeted fwbuilder to OpenWRT when I
replaced my FreeBSD machine.
