The pavers around the edges are typically cemented in place and the rest are set in sand. These are the installations that typically have the cracked paver problems. It would not be practical to place 2 or 2.5 inch pavers over concrete.
Also, take a look at your deed restrictions, mine state that each house must have a CONCRETE driveway, so we went with staining. No idea what you get into with pavers, but I have a few neighbors that did this.

In our case (with Paradise Pavers install), the 1" pavers meet directly up with the garage floor height - the driveway is 1" lower than the garage floor at the garage door area. This is, at least for our home built in Jan of 14.
The driveway, near the curb is cut about 10" along the entire width and the cement removed. This area is prepped and finished 1" lower than the curb and adjoining drive. Thus, the pavers are set in cement and end flush with the curb and to the next row of pavers. Typically only the perimeter pavers are set with adhesive, the pavers in the field "floats" but is set when sand is spread into all the seams - locking in place.
It turns out very finished and flush with the curb and garage floor. Very pleased.
