exactly the situation we faced when we bought a pre-owned home. Many loose (thin type) pavers, and many of them broken. We have decided to go with removal of the thin pavers, some repair to underlying concrete, and will have a treatment known as "textured", which is essentially a paint with a texturing on top to make it less slick.
It will require occasional maintenance. Every few years it will need to be sealed.
Whatever you do, don't do thin pavers.
