I think this is a good summary of a lot of the arguments for increased population, even if my view is different.
I think most of the benefits you’re describing flow from a very tiny fraction of all humans.
Given the returns to specialization, traditionally populations must grow in order to support the efforts of that tiny fraction. However it’s not necessarily the case that in the coming years increasing population is the only way to increase the amount of specialized individuals producing massive value.

Automation will make it easier to specialize.
