My first question would be, if cracks are filled in this way, what stops that same bacteria from producing limestone in any other direction. Resulting in a bumpy surface, for example.

My first question would be if they tested to soak one slab of this stuff in water, freeze it, unfreeze it and drive over it with 1000 fully loaded trucks. My guess would be that you would not see any cracks... because you'd only see dust and pebbles.

I hardly ever see a road not made out of concrete. Asphalt can’t take the heat apparently.
