The reason I really think he pushed back, was a couple other programmers
complained about several other programs that were modified with procedures
and he's afraid of the push on this as well.

The most important change from using Subroutines to writing procedures is: programm creation is diffrent and more complicated and this will affect all programmers in the team! If you don't use change management and if you follow all recommendations in this list (and most of forums etc.), your source will no more be selfcontained and you would need multiple sources to create one programm. Besides /COPY includes you would have binding directories and binder source and without ensuring, that this will be in sync during the maintenance process, you might get programm changes by accident (Pandorras box). This might happen because these ressources are located by libl and even libl/membername.
And so the usage of procedures is a team desicion and the strategies for programm creation have to be part of some standard and have to be assured. It's not done by just starting to write procedures.
