The problem here is that now instead of a bag of rats, the warlock is incentivized to go punch a villager into unconsciousness. Or just slit their throat.
It pushes the character towards finding an easy low-risk combat scenario, which is arguably even weirder than the bag of rats. The hardest part of a fully satisfying solution to this issue for me is that allowing all of the mechanics that lead to a bag of rats, which on their own are all reasonable and seem to be RAI and RAW how the warlock is balanced, leads to some kind of weird behavior.

RAW you can
This is factually inaccurate. As already pointed out in the first page, you can only benefit from a short rest if you do nothing more strenuous than "eating, drinking, reading, or tending to wounds." Furthermore, there is nothing in the rules that actually explains whether concentrating on a spell is more strenuous than those tasks. A DM is free to draw inferences from rules to create a ruling that works for his or her table, but to say that there is a RAW answer one way or the other is simply incorrect.
I want warlocks in any game I run to carry around a bag of rats. There are just too many fun ways for that to go horribly awry.
Better still carry rats under one's hat!
This is factually inaccurate. Concentration is not defined as more, less or just as strenuous, therefore it is perfectly valid to say RAW nothing says you can't. Because it doesn't say that concentration is too strenuous.
If you have to add something that's not written, such as concentration being to strenuous, it's no longer RAW.
RAW nothing says you can't, but it's unclear whether you can. To some.
With everything written as it is you can. Concentration is not stated to be strenuous to any degree, not even in flavour text.He literally said "RAW you can."
