Yes, "1" is the default value for the workers directive.

and this is why I wonder we have three kids, both when "workers"
commented out and when set to 1.

In my earlier paragraph, N is the value of the workers directive. There
are other kids (D diskers and one Coordinator). D is the number of rock
cache_dirs. Both workers and diskers need shared memory and IPC.

If you want to turn off SMP while using rock store, start Squid with -N.
When started with -N, there will be a single process playing all four
roles (master, worker, disker, and Coordinator).

Will running with "workers 1" avoid this issue while using separate
processes for diskers?

No. Disker processes need shared memory to communicate with worker(s).

I should rephrase my question:

since aufs is incompatible with SMP and rockstore runs separate diskers, is running aufs with rock store and safe, when not running with "-N"?

Thanks
