Step one. Follow the code

Step two, if you don't like the code, see step #1.

I don't know about you, but I would want to know a lot more about what
is under that patio slab before I used it as any part of a foundation for
anything more than a dog house.

Does not matter what I think. If the inspector thinks different, you have a
problem. Run it by him first. If the slab is for a 10 x 8 shed and no
permits and inspection required, you may be OK. Otherwise, it will be very
expensive to tear out if the inspector does not buy it.
