It should also be noted that quite a few AHJ's have pretty much ignored AFCI requirements, and don't even want to see them.

Correct. In my area none of the AHJs require AFCI anywhere and I bet most inspectors would take issue with an AFCI on a smoke alarm. Nobody I know has actually tried it, but in casual conversation a couple inspectors said they would turn down an AFCI on a smoke.
