Easy solution to Concentration saves is to require it on spells cast on unwilling targets like Hold Person but not on friendly targets like Bless.
Meh, agree to disagree then. Every caster in my group has been forced to take it; there aren't enough spell slots in this edition to blow them every time you stub your toe.
None of the casters in your group have been forced to take it. Every player of a caster in your group chose to take it.
We have 5 casters out of 6 PCs in our group and none of those players have taken it.
Good for them.
But as the casters in our group lose concentration pretty often, I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you and say that, yes, we have been forced to take it.

My front line Cleric lost concentration until he took the resilience (con), but the back line casters don't often lose it at all, especially arcane casters with the shield spell.
There are also some great defensive spells for arcanes that don't require concentration. Blink, Mirror Image, Fire Shield, etc..
