(it will not have any affect on the floors ability to move slightly, expand, etc.)

I've even dropped washers into them. Nooooooooooo.
They make caulk specifically for control joints in concrete, I filled the joints before I epoxied. I also used a heavy coat of sand in the final coat and that made it very grippy even when wet. I went with 1 color, light grey and the end result is pretty nice imo.
