There’s many problems with the pension system, but the fact it requires humanity to continue to reproduce isn’t one of them.

It requires humanity to grow its numbers, this making it a pyramid scheme.

Growth helps, but it's not required. What is actually required is stability in the age pyramid. The problem is we transitioned suddenly from high growth to a population crash. Now the age pyramid resembles more a propane tank shape, and the pension system went haywire. A very slow transition would be easier to adapt to.

Not what I said. That it requires an increasing number of children to adults to continue is the issue. Personal retirement accounts is a much better alternative.
