Yes these are 'proper' air springs, not just squishy bags (that fit inside coils) or donuts (that have a terribly fast increase in spring rate with compression). So these air springs completely replace the coils.
Rolling lobe air springs (like the ones I use) are the same design approach as used in Mercedes, Porsche, Tesla, Audi, Range Rover, etc.
There's a huge amount of poor information around about aftermarket air suspension. For example, many aftermarket air spring manufacturers don't even have load/deflection specs available! Many people also believe that air suspension is just for when you want to dump your car into the weeds, not get best ride / handling / aero.
As is almost always the case, original equipment manufacturers do it well, so you won't go far wrong if you look at what they do.
