AFO never got the surgery.
Guns in Tartarus are a threat to him when his quirks are inactive. That puts his physical durability below Grey Nomu.
He can't escape Tartarus without external help. If he had All Might level physicals & not just quirk-enhanced strength, Tartarus would not be able to hold him in the first place. How that place works is by keeping people from activating their quirks in the first place.
Water pressure was a threat to him. He literally saw water pressure from what, 500m or so, I forgot as a threat. This is not something someone with an All Might tier physical body would have to worry about.
Then there's the doctor's words which pretty much confirm AFO didn't get it otherwise he wouldn't say "originally intended for", he would just tell Shiggy he was getting the exact surgery as AFO.
Then the timeline doesn't mesh. From Vigilantes to the main series to Heroes Rising, we have an exact timeline of Ujiko's Nomu development process.
For example, 6 years ago from Vigilantes we can see Ujiko was nowhere near perfecting High-ends. The surgery on Shigaraki is an advanced version of the Nomu-fication process so it was clearly only perfected recently. Even for Nine, his incident only happened a few months if not weeks before Shigaraki's process. And from Ujiko's words, he might very well had been the last test subject right before the whole operation was feasible.
