Question: confusion about RHEL 8/CentOS 8 support

For a CentOS system CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core), what is the recommended sequence? It is unclear in the documentation, so my apologies for the newbie question.

  1. Should the package for NetworkManager be uninstalled?
  2. Should the package for network-scripts be installed?

If someone has a working setup with multiple interfaces (eth0/eth1) and ip rules and routes and are able to share that would be appreciated.

I can share other details upon request. Currently using version 3.5.3 with puppet 6.12.0.

The module should work as expected using NetworkManager (configured via the "usual" scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ).
Here's some sample hieradata:

network::interfaces_hash:
  'eth0':
    enable_dhcp: true
  'eth1':
    ipaddress:
      - '10.42.43.104'
      - '10.42.143.104'
    netmask: '255.255.255.0'
    gateway: '10.42.43.1'
network::mroutes_hash:
  eth1:
    routes:
      '10.42.50.0/24': '10.42.43.1'
      '10.42.100.0/24': '10.42.43.1'
      '10.42.251.0/24': '10.42.43.1'
