If you click it, you're presented with the option to enable or disable out of focus release.
Disable means that so long as you're holding down the AF-ON, the camera will only take a shot when it's focused (if AF-C is focus priority, anyway) which *really* helped to fix my above "nothing's in focus" problem.On the D850 I have AF-ON A8 set to OFF which means it is only activated by AF-ON button. The shutter can then lock on EXP with half press of the shutter button so it separates the function.
Also A1 AF-C I have set priority to "Release" and A2 AF-S to "Focus".
These settings are the same as Steve Perry's suggestions
Right, but on the A8 setting, there's an expansion (on the d500 anyway, no promises on the d850). You click it and you can enable/disable out of focus shutter release for the af-on button. I recommend disable.

In my notes for the D850 I mentioned to set A8 to OFF or disabling the shutter release so it is the same for the D850
