(OP)
With the use of steel fiber reinforcing, have people been using dowel baskets to transfer shear across saw cut control joints, or do you believe the aggregate interlock will be sufficient?

Many of the industrial and commercial projects which minimise jointing are turnkey, using proprietary designs and construction procedures. The materials are all readily available, but not everybody wants to go to the expense of floors which have joints spaced at 30 to 35 metres. Like everything, with time, the costs will come down and the use will become more widespread.
