The Code talks a lot about installing an OBC AFCI receptacle on the first outlet of a circuit and the circuit is fed with a branch circuit AFCI circuit breaker. It seems this would be an extremely rare situation - because the old AFCIs have not been sold for over 10 years.
I think the normal (and much easier) procedure is to protect the entire circuit with a combo AFCI ( CAFCI) and then use standard receptacles downstream.
Also if you use OBC devices you must place your first outlets carefully so they do not get blocked by future furniture, making them not readily accessible. This accessibility problem happens in retro-fit situations where the first outlet on the circuit is randomly placed.
