You don't.
APFS is written for flash storage (SSD's) and behave differently than spinning magnetic disks. SSD will take care of keeping the directory healthy, because of over-provisioning systems. You don't have that with spinners, which is why we have learnt to have some kind of DiskWarrior available. You also never defragment SSD storage.
And because APFS is written from ground up with SSD in mind, it might not be the best idea to use it with spinners. Because spinners need a DiskWarrior every now and then and APFS does not support those mechanisms.
