It doesn't require them in those locations where the likelihood is that a fan will not be installed. I mention this in post #4.
Fan rated 3/0 pancake?

So WA did a currents on how they were going to interpret the current rule and it's it's very broad. Only over islands and in halls are exempt from fan rated boxes and areas with 4ft or less from a wall.
To pass rough I'd use a 4O pancake fan box and then swap it after cover inspection if the fixture realy won't work with it before drywall.

It makes more sense that it is an Allied box and not Arlington. I wouldn't hang a fan from that either.

I need to look through prior codes to see if anything changed. That basically was how it was here as well, but looking at 2023 code I not seeing such wording that I think may have been there at one time. I been wiring the same way over past several years and maybe didn't even know the change, though wasn't violating anything either.
