Alternatively, if it gets more common, perhaps there would be space for more peer group socialization alongside the academic acceleration. If you teach vector calc to an entire group of 9 year olds, maybe they can develop as normal, as opposed to the potentially damaging solution of teaching it to a group of 18 year olds and one 9 year old.

This is the thought crossing my head. The best version of this is find a way for the young brilliant kids to have time together so they at least have some sort of peer group, instead of always being the weird little kid among college students or the like. Although it could still lead to some issues since ONLY dealing with brilliant people isn't the most real-world experience in the long run. There really needs to be some method for giving them the chance to excel to their maximum (without unfairly pushing them because we can) while also having a chance to experience more general social settings.
