Acid arrow (and other stuff): “On a hit, you deal acid damage equal to 1d8 plus your spellcasting ability modifier plus 1d6 persistent acid damage.”
Seems to indicate it happens on hit, but that seems to conflict with persistent damage. Maybe write ‘and x persistent damage’ instead of the ‘plus x persistent damage’?

I don't see what is confusing about this. The arrow does 1d8 regular damage when it hits, and applies 1d6 persistant acid damage. All persistant damage only occurs at the end of the affected player's turn, before they do the flat 20 check to remove it.
Because its all on one line. When you hit you do x damage plus x persistent damage. On the hit. It doesn't say you do X damage and some persistent damage later.

But that's how persistent damage works in general.
When you deal "x persistent damage" it applies the affliction, and the subject takes that much on his turn.
That's consistent with every other source of persistent damage.
