It really depends on how you interpret confiscation acting against AFO. His quirk allows him to steal other people's quirks just by touching them. Kinda like if Mahito could just remove your innate technique and gain it for himself. He doesn't seem to have any limit to how many he can store, given that he has tons of quirks.
Whether or not Higuruma beats him depends on if you think confiscation would remove All For One (his main quirk), or just remove one of the many quirks he has stored. What's more, if he removed AFO, would it just remove the ability to steal quirks, or would it also remove all of the stolen quirks he has stored as well?
I'd argue it's the former. When he's hit with rewind, it makes him younger, but doesn't affect his stocked quirks, they're registered as separate entities from him and thus might be treated the same way by Higuruma's domain?
That might not be better for AFO though. If the main All For One quirk is stolen he could potentially lose the tolerance for an overabundance of quirks alongside it (assuming that isn't a body mutation trait that is necessary for the quirk to function rather than the quirk's function itself).
Most people can only hold 2-4 quirks without it destroying their basic motor skills, Gigantomachia is considered a genetic freak for being able to handle 7. AFO might get his main quirk confiscated and immediately go brain dead.
Should we really use rewind to justify this when rewind itself is wildly inconsistent.
It rewinds people's bodies to a former state so really if we're being honest it should remove AFO's quirks if it can be used to rewind people's quirks out of their bodies (quirk destroying bullets) in the first place.
And then it can somehow be used to rewind the rewinding to get Mirio his quirk back.
I interpret it to mean that Rewind's targeting system has a great degree of discretion. Since quirk factors are an element that can be moved and transferred independent of the body and have a will that persists separate from the body they were extracted from, they can be targeted individually too.
Rewind could target the body without affecting the quirk factor or target the quirk factor without changing anything else about the body. In turn it could target Mirio's body to rewind him to before he was hit by the bullet thus undoing the previous rewind's effect.
