Can UFW work with iptables-persistent?

I used a script to set up iptables rules and then made them persistent with iptables-persistant. This is described here as a means to prevent a certain user sending traffic over eth0 so it can just use tun0 aka a VPN. But I also use ufw to easily manage firewall rules. Now, if I make the rules persistant ufw seems not beeing able to load its own rules on top of that. Is this a basic conflic? Or should I be able to solve it? Of course I could make the rules persistant after I added sudo ufw enable but then any changes to ufw afterwards would have to be persistet, too. This is something I want to avoid because it might be a cause for errors.
