That is not possible with i3 at the moment (and probably never will be). Any workspace that is empty and not visible will be automatically removed because it is not needed. Just as a workspace will be automatically created if it does not yet exist when trying to go/move to it.
Unlike other window manager i3 does not maintain a fixed list of workspaces but allows you to create any number of workspaces on the fly. This also necessitates a way to clean up workspaces. And by far the simplest solution is to just remove them automatically once they are no longer needed. If you want a workspace with the same name later on, it just can be re-created.
