Is the zone-based firewall scheduled to be deprecated in VyOS? The following page states “zone based firewall is no longer supported”.

https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/configexamples/zone-policy.html#examples-zone-policy

Or has the configuration structure simply be changed? At the moment, it appears that zone-based firewalls are still available in the latest release.

https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/configuration/firewall/index.html#zone-based-firewall

If zone-based firewalls are an outdated feature that will be discontinued in the future, what is the modean alternative?

It was removed at some time but fortunately added again. It is not deprecated.
After that, some bugs were identified and confirmed fixed.
