[Alpacasite] Question about the use of Concrete

This is going to sound crazy, but I was asked to post this:

My Father in Law read the recent article in Hobby Farms regarding the
use of concrete in stalls, etc. and he is now interested in putting
down concrete in all our stalls in both barns AND the overhang (shed)
areas on the barns sides to facilitate cleaning and lessen dust.

Has anyone else done this? I'm thinking unless you put down rubber
mats over the concrete it would be too rough on the Alpaca's joints -
not to mention that every gasp of panic when a newborn is trying to
stand and is falling on their face. Any opinions? What about spray-
on rubber over the concrete?

Thanks
