it should work. I'd consider going with a finish that has a bit of stipple so as to reduce suction possibilities. most laminates have a bit of texture if you look close enough.

Why not. Sure it may wear out but since you have it - use it.

Of course. You can do it but, I wouldn't. I put formica on my outfeed table (assembly table) a number of years ago. It has taken a beating and has held up well. I can't imagine a wood veneer of any species or thickness doing as well. Save your veneer for a furniture project.

This. My outfeed tables are covered with easily replaceable tempered Masonite.
Wood is good.

A few tiny wire brads where the Masonite might try to lift.
Tempered Masonite makes the perfect work surface for a workbench. I screw into it to locate bending cauls and such; then just run the belt sander over it later. It's easy on your cutting tools and doesn't mark the workpiece.
