For the time being, and until BMD either provides us a way to export sequences directly from Fusion tab or drastically improve the Fusion clip caching, there is a workaround.
It is not the ideal solution of course, but it works.
All you need to do is basically copy all the Fusion clips you have to a separate timeline and then, in the Deliver page, render them as individual clips. You can even create subfolders for each one of them using the Fusion clip's Source Name, using the '%Source Name' in the file subfolder section as I have done in the following screenshot.

Again, as I said, this is not, by any means, an alternative for a proper workflow, but it does the job for now. The main issue with this workaround is it involves a lot of manual labour from the user. You have to do all the copying, rendering, placing the rendered clips in their respective positions on the timeline, and replacing them back with the original clip if you are willing to use them for the final export.
Hope this helps for now.
