Does it come with a delivery agent like procmail or maildrop? Does it use maildir or mbox or its own mailbox format?

If you read the readme, it clearly covers this, it delivers to Maildir or blob storage like S3, your choice.
Clearly? I searched for maildir and mbox, my browser can't find either on that page. What does cloud storage have to do with the MDA?
Storage options: https://stalw.art/docs/get-started#supported-blob-stores On the first glance it seems that it's designed in a easily extensible way, so new storage options shouldn't be hard to add (https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/main/crates...)

Given it's all-in-one thing, MDA/LDA is integrated, to best of my (very shallow, just ~30 minutes haphazardly checking docs and source code) understanding there is no separate delivery agent program sitting in-between the components, it's all a single process, but it has places where you can hook arbitrary external filters/transformers (https://stalw.art/docs/smtp/inbound/data#content-filters)

It is not directly in the README but there is a link in it to a getting started guide [0] which covers this. The user "zie" probably got it confused with the README.
