Nybbler, come on. You know the Haredim do not till the earth. Food comes from the grocery store, as far as they are concerned.

I don't actually believe that parents should be able to do whatever they want with their children without limits, so this line of argument isn't convincing to me.

It's quite simple. There needs to be a line drawn somewhere, and 18 is as good a place as any.

Too much of an age gap and it ends up where the younger partner is more or less the caretaker for the older one while the younger partner is still near their prime.
Well sure, it's ill advised, but I hardly see why it's anyone else's business, unlike the 25/17 situation.

Social status, and the economic and political benefits, tend to be "sticky".
Stickiness and mobility are opposites - if status is sticky, then reversion to the mean is not a concern.
This isn't a problem with meritocracy, it's a problem with heirarchy, which meritocracy is supposed to streamline, but cannot entirely avoid.
Indeed, unless we RETVRN to hunting and gathering we need to have some kind of hierarchy for society to function (and even then...). Certainly meritocracy delivers results and I don't believe that it necessitates people having fewer kids (and in any case the present fertility decline is mostly driven by the marriage decline so I'm not sure that anxiety about children's status is even the important factor here).
There's plenty of things that we don't allow people to let their kids do.
Pal, you don't have a daughter. This whole post is about how you want to coom in underage pussy. Let's drop the "no, you're weird!" act.
