It would be very difficult for any TV show or film to meet this bar for non-fiction, because even if the footage is real there's still an edit.

The Senna documentary[1] is in the grey area. It's entirely composed of archival footage - no reconstructions, no talking heads, no voiceover. But the filmmaker has still chosen which footage to include and omit and in what order to construct a narrative. I don't think that neatly falls into fiction or non-fiction in your model.
