Sounds like anyone could experience one of these 3 failures?

Good practice to be aware of the condition of the installation, that's all.

Tell us about aged concrete versus new. What properties "mature" with aged concrete that help anchor in this type installation.

Concrete cures at different rates due to temperature, mix, additives etc. Generally there are 24 hour, 7 day, 28 day and 90 day cure strengths. The 90 day should result in 90% designed strength. The remainder can go on for years, and don't quote me on this, but I seem to remember that protected concrete is designed for a 75 year life.
There are a zillion different mix combinations, lots of admixes and plasticizers, and reinforcements, so unless tested or documented, go with the minimum, yours should be 2500psi compression and approx 10% tensile.

Just ordered mine today - looks like there is still a few days (maybe a week?) to place an order. I spoke with my builder ahead of time to get my specs on the garage floor. The epoxy idea looks like a good one.

Thanks,
