Network ACLs are just static IP-Filters for Protocols. I am using Network ACLs for a baseline of Security and a WebApplication Firewalls for my public endpoints. The Network Firewall in combination with the FMS is a good governance tool to help you to rollout your security baseline to multiple accounts. The AWS Firewall Factory is currently just for Web Application Firewalls.
