Yes, there are folks who hold this view on farmer's walks and I respect their opinion. If you are concerned about spinal compression, then feel free to avoid exercises that place compression on the spine. However, it is important to note that where you place the load will impact the level of compression. For example, in a back squat, the bar is placed on the spine and thus you get more spinal compression. If you move to a front squat or zercher squat, you don't need as much weight and the anterior bar placement reduces direct compression on your spine. With farmer's walks and deadlifts, you are holding the weight in your hands. There is spinal compression, but not to the same extent as a back squat. I have personally done half squats with 500lbs and done farmers' walks with 600lbs. I felt way less compression with farmer's walks than I did with the squats. Farmer's walks offer a host of benefits which I've outlined here: http://www.andrewheming.com/2014/03/the-magic-of-loaded-carries.html.

Instead of the actual walk, you could do a stationary high knee type of movement. This might be the alternative some individuals require.
