What does ebtables.service do?
On Fedora, the firewalld package requires ebtables. Installing firewalld on Debian also installs ebtables by default, although it is a recommendation and not a hard requirement.
Fedora does not enable all services by default. It enables the systemd service for firewalld, but not ebtables.
Debian enables all services by default. So it enables the systemd service for both firewalld and ebtables.

I don't know what firewalld uses ebtables for.
Is there any possible conflict between ebtables.service and firewalld.service?
Yes. firewalld.service is defined as Conflicts=ebtables.service.
I believe this works and provides the desired result, both during boot, and immediately after the install. See: systemd service A has `Conflicts=B`. Both A and B are enabled. Can you tell which service will be allowed to start at boot, if any, or is it random?
I find this potentially confusing. I would consider explicitly disabling ebtables.service.
Comparing the ebtables.service on Debian 9 and Fedora 28, they work slightly differently.
They both have similar code, which can save ebtables rulesets when the service is stopped, and restore them when it is started.
On my Debian system, ebtables.service reads options from /etc/default/ebtables, which say to do almost nothing by default. It does however clear the ebtables rulesets when stopped or restarted.
On my Fedora system, ebtables.service provides similar features. There is an options file at /etc/sysconfig/ebtables-config which looks the same as the Debian one, but AFAICT it is not referenced by ebtables.service. Instead, all the features are fully enabled once you enable ebtables.service.
