No you didn't: "What’s really the downside of falling birth rates (as long as they stabilize, and they obviously will)?"
There is no way the population stabilizes unless the birth rate increases to replacement rate. The birthrate is WAY, WAY below replacement rate.
Also, why assume that something will stabilize? That assumption seems not rooted on any evidence.
Your argument about sub populations can be just as easily applied to humans as a whole. Perhaps humans will be replaced by another species.
If you look at nature more coarsely, you don’t see population stabilization. Instead you see speciation and extinction due to random and constant changes. Perhaps there will be an environmental event that we would otherwise survive that will do us in because of our low population.
