It can do away with NetworkManager or it can work with it. The integration with NM wasn't quite there in time for Debian Buster (which I use) but it was close and might be there now. They were working on it.
I have never used NetworkManager so can't comment intelligently on it. But I have it setup without it and it requires just a few config files. How many/how much config depends on how much you want to tweak things and how you want to organize things.
The main thing missing in the current stack is a nice interface for wifi. Using iwd for wifi has made things much better and if you don't mind CLI management it is quite nice.
For a bit more concrete of an example here is a gist I through up a while back describing replacing the old setup with a systemd based one.
