dont think it would be a problem to build on top of it without breaking up and burying
I'm not talking about burying. I'm talking about pouring the new slab directly over the old.
I do know in research and speaking with some people, it is completely possible, would require minimum 4" thickness of new slab.
Just not sure economically what's better

We’re not talking about a patio or driveway. A house has rebar, mesh, footers, plumbing, and electrical all in or below the slab.
If your slab has a slab beneath it, it will impede many of these things from being in the correct location.
