I do similar. I purge any firewalls and use iptables exclusively.

Steve, one thing that's definitely important is for the host to have -P
FORWARD ACCEPT in order for the VM to receive traffic. This is of
course because it's acting as a bridge or switch between the default
gateway and the VM.

I second iptables-persistent. I feel more comfortable handling IPTABLES
than learning a firewall that's going to use IPTABLES (or nftables,
same thing pretty much) in the background.
