How do you reverse it when it becomes a problem? If we’re taking the long view here, our future generations may be facing a world where there aren’t enough people. Or is that a problem that we’ll leave to them to figure out?

Lack of productivity can be compensated by automation. >How do you reverse it when it becomes a problem? That's biologically impossible. Even if you sterilize every human with a birth certificate on earth.

The topic is not exactly verbotten, but it is genuinely hard to argue for or against dispassionately. Part of the official reasoning is that young population is a poor's country resource. I personally take issue with nations seeing their population that way, but it is not unusual.
