So that means I can safely Enable Public Firewall Profile on my Servers without worrying about its impact on the Domain Related Roles/Features and Services etc.

  Sure, you can mark it's as answered. I was actually doing Server Hardening as per Audit Requirement and they recommended to apply controls. Although we have a Separate Firewall in our organization but I still wanted to enable public firewall on Server's end to have more control as per server hardening requirement but I was worried it might start impacting my above-mentioned services but since you mentioned that it won't so I can safely enable.
  Thanks.
