One of the worries I have with concrete (besides the aesthetic) is that it'll eventually crack, and I've heard the removal of it costs way more than the replacement of pavers. I'm wondering if putting a concrete base down and then the pavers on top would alleviate the settling problem.

I didn't plant anything under the spruce. We use containers such as whiskey barrels and just plant annuals.
I'm no concrete expert but my childhood home in Red Deer had a concrete patio and I don't recall many serious cracks. I lived there for 17 years and the patio was in excellent condition. Perhaps it is a matter of the installation quality? They can do neat things with concrete these days so I don't think aesthetics should be too much of a concern.
