I believe wpa_supplicant is still needed for wifi access on freebsd (or, it was in 2017 when I was last using freebsd on my laptop).

OpenBSD has better integrations with ifconfig and wpa though, it’s possible they are ported over now, but wifi config is the same as in Linux (or had been for quite a significant amount of time) on freebsd.

Completely agree about the opaque and incidental complexity of the systemd ecosystem though, I’m glad people love it but it’s not for me.
