Thank you!  :)

We have on average 30 concurrent users in our system.

I hate AutoIncrement and simply don't use them. I recommend you use
GUID's instead. It's a lot safer (reliable) and easier to work with.
Saying that, it's easy to use Triggers in FB to overcome the missing
AutoInc fields.

We handle Boolean's via a Domain and have no issue there either. Hey,
if C/C++ doesn't have native boolean types after all these years, why
must databases? ;-)
