From a demographic perspective I think it is safe to say that human population is not exactly on the brink of extinction.
I think there is ample buffer for future generations to correct the population trajectory if under-population happens to be a non-imaginary issue for our species.
In my opinion, many ecological problems would be simpler to solve with half or a quarter of the current population.
And the imbalance between old and young would only last for a few decades.
