At this point I'd like to consider epoxy paint possibly with some grit added.
I figure as with any paint the prep work makes or breaks the quality of the job. Does epoxy paint stick to even old carpet adhesive?

The epoxy would stick to the glue. But one day when the glue decides to peel off the concrete, you will not be happy. It's likely just an exterior grade carpet adhesive, nothing special. Best way to remove is with elbow grease. Get a floor scraper and then a razor scraper and go to town until it's off as much as possible. Powerwash. If it was a commercial job, we'd probably have it bead-blasted, but you won't want to mess with that.
