That only works if we assume that there will always be rich countries that don't have enough kids, and poor countries that have "too many" kids and send some to the rich countries.

While that may end up being the case for centuries to come, I don't think it's a great outcome for humanity as a whole to require vast wealth inequality between nations in order to keep humanity from dying out.

You're underestimating how well birth rates react to having actual free time and space to live in.

I raise you Israel as an example of not a poor country with big increase in birth rates.
