I'm sure there are methods out there to strip the old paint off of concrete, probably pretty noxious, but a respirator will take care of that. Definitely can add silica/sand to the epoxy during placement to give it some roughness so it isn't so slick.

We have a similar issue in Colorado Springs with expansive soils, although we have been very lucky at our house (knock on wood).
And I have done some investigating on the methods to strip off old paint - there are mixed opinions on whether you grind it off (lots of dust, expensive pads made with diamond, etc) or use a chemical (noxious fumes as you mention, may not work as well, etc).
I joked with my wife that I should just carpet the garage
