If you're looking to maximize space, a convection oven microwave combo might do pretty good.
As for the tasks they do, neither a combi nor convection is QUITE as aggressive in circulating air as an air fryer. Air fryers are shaped and sized to maximize air circulation. A convection oven is a little more aggressive version of a regular oven, with a fan to move the air around and heat more evenly, but not a 'vortex' of fast-moving air to 'fry' the food.
An air fryer will be smaller and quicker, but a convection oven will do more slower [and be bigger, of course].
Best way to think maybe is like a window air unit in a tiny room and central air in a home, if you stand right in front of a window unit, you get a cold blast of air, but central air will get the whole room just as cool eventually, maybe better overall if the entire area is what you want cooled and not just your face or a tiny room.
