While I am dubious about the benefits of AFCIs, it really has to be a two way street; both the AFCI and the connected equipment have to adjust to work together.
GFCI protection is now reliable and a true safety improvement. However many appliances (particularly refrigeration equipment) was designed with acceptable leakage levels that would trip GFCIs. Not a safety problem as long as you had reliable grounding...with the advent of GFCI requirements the equipment also had to change.
To answer the OP I know of no equipment that has been modified to work better with AFCIs, but have not looked for such.
