This is a theme of some prime dystopian literature but yes, it can be a solution if you are into "more from my kind" ideology.

But this will have hard time competing with religious sects where they will be pushing to turn men and women into breeders. This is already very popular, that's where the ani women's rights and anti LGBT stuff is coming from.

There also would be ideologues who will advocate for reduction of the numbers of others if we can't increase ours.

The "more from my kind" ideology comes with its horrors. I don't like it.

The OP suggested making all these new humans genetically engineered to be sexless, so I'm not sure how you got the idea he wants "more from my kind" (GE sexless humans don't exist now); he's obviously talking about making a new race of humans that's genetically engineered to be quite different from modern-day humans, not just with a few improved traits, but some radical differences.

As for religious sects, they're not that numerous today, so unless this Brave New World of state-controlled breeding creates a LOT of new converts, those savages could easily be isolated into their own open-air prison in Oklahoma where everyone else can visit them on tourist packages.
