Same in my 2017 Audi - prevented a sure collision with a deer, and like you my foot was still moving towards the brake when the car stopped. Also, no false alarms in 35,000 miles.

I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee (not a recommendation, it's a terrible car in too many respects) and while it does have rare false alarms with Forward Collision Warning (not AEB) almost exclusively when driving on a single lane highway and approaching a vehicle that is part-way through turning off. FWIW I always leave the FCW set to its most sensitive setting.

I've never had an AEB false alarm in ~50,000 km.

I would never, ever own a car without it now.
