…shall be permitted to install a listed outlet branch-circuit-type AFCI at the first outlet..
AFCI protection of the branch circuit is still required, just not that portion in the raceways listed.
Fuse panel to the first outlet in conduit, then AFCI. We put them next to the fuse panel then NM from there to wherever.
The only reason code mandated AFCIs because of an unreasonable value of 500 amps (0.25ohm Ze) was assumed common at the main panel. OP, this may help:
