I would suggest that you have a valid reason for not wanting your work area
carpeted, but then, I've also been accused of being overly-cautious (but
then, I haven't broken anything yet either, knock wood). I would suggest
another reason to not carpet is pest control; carpets are great hiding
places for bugs, and depending on the fibre, may even be a food source for
them. I find it's easier to spot potential insect activity on concrete, and
I also find that concrete is easier to clean (just sweep up---no moisture or
chemicals needed). One negative comment I've heard about concrete floors is
that they can contribute to dust levels in a collections area, but that this
can be countered with a coat of non-toxic sealing paint. Would a coat of
paint satisfy those who are "encouraging" you to carpet?
