I completely agree with you on rejecting P1. For P2, I’m not strictly utilitarian, but I think utilitarianism is a reasonable 1st order approximation in many situations. But I think your logic is a strong argument for having more children, regardless of socio-economic status.
I haven’t heard many utilitarians or effective altruists promoting (or practicing) a higher birth rate, although I think it should logically follow.
