If I was in a relationship where everyone involved wanted a kid and I believed the kid would have a good chance of having positive role models and the kind of environment I’d wish for someone I love throughout its formative years, yes.
The “what if my child can’t do intellectual labor because of AI?” question is, IMO, a very similar shape of risk to “what if my child can’t do intellectual labor because they have an intellectual disability?”.
If you’d love a kid even if they turned out to be in a low percentile of society intellectually, then you’re ready for a kid regardless of whether the world you’re bringing it into happens to have AI smarter than it. If your desire to add to your family is contingent on assumptions about how the new addition’s abilities would compare to those of other agents it interacts with, it might be worth having a good think about whether that’s a childhood environment that you would wish upon a person whom you love.
