Is it possible to learn to fight realistically (not fake stuff like Aikido) without getting blows to the head? Scientists say that even blows which don't cause a full concussion can accumulate into brain damage, and I can't risk my mental performance because I have a demanding white-collar job.

All submission style grappling styles are safe to your head. The reason a fighter taps out in the UFC when he gets in a submission it's because they find themselves in a "checkmate" scenario. Resistance is futile and it means that your opponent will dislocate your arm or choke you into unconsciousness for realsies They put this ruling to try to keep it as realistic and as safe as possible.

Not entirely true. While it wouldn't be as bad as striking, you can still get concussions from taking a bad throw. Repetitive training of chokes can also lead to strokes from artery dissection.

do any martial art just don't spar hard/compete. Shouldn't be an issue.

You don't need to spar to train martial arts. You will likely not be as good as someone who has, mostly due to poor reaction times & low pain tolerance. There is simply no routine/drill/equipment that will approach the complexity of even the shittiest sparring partner. However, training martial arts at all, even without sparring, will make you better than the majority of the planet that does no fight training at all.

Most would prefer body pain to brain damage. However, if you do striking and just never spar or only very lightly once in a blue moon, striking is healthier no contest.
