The labor laws for children (<18) in film are brutal. As they should be. Better to avoid the whole thing unless really necessary. Extras definitely won't be under 18.

Sometimes extras have to be kids, so filming can stretch out a few days.

Knowing there's kids on set can actually be nice, because you know there's only so long they can shoot for, instead of stretching a Friday night out indefinitely. Especially if it's a director like Fincher who is known for doing a lot of takes.

In my experience, when possible they just shoot the stuff with the kids first then pivot to scenes without them to finish out the day. Not always the case though!

Yeah, they'll front load the kid stuff if they can for sure. Or just stagger call times.

Usually when they were creating a hard out time you were already in the weeds as it was. Getting home late, but not as late as it would be.
