uhhh, we already have a shattered incentive structure and are not reproducing enough humans to support the next generation. US fertility is below replacement, as is pretty much every other developed or middle income country. Its likely that we will see peak world population in our lifetime.

Luckily the US population can grow other ways too! And the global population is increasing. And “seeing peak world population in our lifetime” doesn’t sound too scary. Shortage of humans due to humans choosing not to reproduce because they don’t want their non-parent coworkers to be frustrated is one of the smallest existential threats I can imagine.
