The way I see this is that this rule would be applied to udp traffic as
well which will be dropped/blocked because flags only work for tcp and
this might be the cause of state-mismatches that I see in the table -

'flags S/SA keep state' will work OK for UDP too.  Only the 'keep
state' part will be applied to UDP, since no flags are involved.

state-mismatch                  11577272           48.7/s

Could be caused by reloading your ruleset to include 'keep state'
mid-connections, I think.  PF won't be aware of where the state is
(especially true if you're using TCP window scaling), so it will fail
after a while and you'll see state mismatches.

even if reloading the ruleset to include "keep state" and/or "flags s/sa"
didn't sever pre-existing connections, it shouldn't cause that large a
number of mismatches.

when was the last time you zeroed the statistics? is the mismatch count
still increasing w/ the 7.0 stateful rules? you may need to add "log (all)"
to find out where the state mismatches are coming from.
