To some extent, this problem solves itself though it may take a while. There will still be variation in the number of children and those that for whatever reason desire larger families will pass that preference on to their kids who will make up a larger portion of the population with each generation.

More personally, I think if I were to go back and do it again, I’d have a third child but at 46/41 that ship has mostly sailed.
Yes, agreed, but I still think that shorter term the issue is whether the people who are having the most kids have cultures that are also productive and pro-progress. Most of the high fertility sub-cultures are relatively disconnected from science, technology etc. and I think that's reason for concern at a societal level.
