Linux kernel is already containing chunks of code related to systemd/firewalld and friends. One can disable stuff during kernel build, but the result it still is not like the result of building kernel before the existence of systemd/firewalld. Also, it is likely that at some point systemd-free Linux distribution(s) may fade away. That said, if one is strongly willing to stay away from systemd, and not to such extent into Linux as to needing an advise on that, I would recommend to take a look at non-Linux system, specifically BSD descendants (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc). Their kernel is not as heavy (big,resource demanding) as Linux kernel, and you can do pretty much everything one needs (except maybe computer games, although these will fall mostly into MS Windows scope). I for one have FreeBSD on my laptop (with alternative boot into Debian, the last being systemd though...). I hope, this helps.
