Thinking about this more -
I don't think most of Judaism would "support" the idea of not having children (unless of course it was for health reasons) and I do think they would try to encourage otherwise those who don't want them.
But I also don't think in most cases they would be ostracized either.
Why do you think there will be inevitable suffering from coming into being? I realize this might be the case in some instances but in others I don't think they see the suffering as much or at least they look at it a different way.
I remember watching one of the Peter Santenello YouTube videos he did in the Hasidic community. He was talking about Covid at the time to a teenage boy and asked if he or anyone was afraid of it. The boy said he knew some who passed from it but when it's your time and G-d calls you, then its' time. I think they may have a different perspective on suffering compared to the modern world. Not saying they don't suffer or feel the pain, but they seem to adjust to it differently.
