NTA, but my brain is about the only part of my body that I'm actually worried about. I've seen firsthand what dementia/Alzheimer's does to a person, not wanting to end up like that is a valid concern I think
Sure, not training at all in the name of brain health is kinda dumb, but some concern is warranted

Buhurt, do buhurt. The helmets are heavy enough that it is very difficult to knock someone out and your main risk of brain injury is from falling wrong or being thrown hard on the ground- which doesn't happen that often. With striking disciplines, the likelihood that you go home with a pounding headache is quite high. I can do a full day of armored practice and go home with 0 concussions and maybe only a few hard impacts that might have jostled my brain a little bit, like football, etc.

That's the thing about buhurt though, you're not guaranteed to smack helmets with someone, it just happens sometimes. In football you are always gonna be smacking helmets or jostling your brain around when sacking or defending. In buhurt I have gotten into headbutt fights and that will ring your bell and you will get some of those mini concussions that when happen enough times cause CTE.

But it really comes down to how you choose to fight... If you study it and decide you want to do it, your best course of action is to bulk up and develop strong knees, back, ankles, shoulders, neck, wrists, etc. All those need to be strong because you are supporting an extra 80-100 lbs while fighting.

Do some sort of grappling. There is still a risk of concussion hitting the ground but I wouldn't say it's significantly higher than other sports, specially compared to striking arts.

Two things:

1.) Boxing is one of the few striking styles that has made "don't get punched in the head" into a science. All styles have defense. Boxing has specific training for guards, head movement, and footwork designed for the express purpose of defending your head.

2.) If you program for a living, then you don't fight for a living. And no one outside of serious competition is going to try to knock you out. Doing martial arts as a hobby is perfectly safe.
