In response to that people are going to have less children, you can check the low birthrates around the world.

I'm sure electricity was terrible for lamplighters, the telephone for telegraphists, machinery for manual laborores, fusion energy is going to be terrible for the coal industry etc

Every technology is going to make someone irrelevant, until everyone is irrelevant, the problem is not technology it's the system that needs to change.
