If you have more then one edge then stateful filtering will not work since
sessions may exit router 1 but enter on router 2 or 3 (and you will not
get happy with using pfsync in such a case).
So yes, I can see that you can't use pf(4) full pfstates on the edge.
I guess sloppy states may be an option...
