Deck screws are perfect. Carriage bolts are overkill.
Here’s a popular basic workbench: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/builderresources/while-youre-building/building-articles/tools-and-workshop/worktables

yes, the workbench will stay solid. Have you ever built or used a wood workbench?
For the workbench I provided a link to, I can thrown hundreds of pounds on it, lawnmowers, snowblowers, compressors, pressure washers, me walking on it and using it as a step or ladder, and there is no give or loosening of screws.
only time I've used lag bolts was for folding legs on one of my workbenches, so just 1 lag bolt in each corner. Still rest of workbench was all wood screws.
