If the actions of the Inquisition are being spurned by a world threating demon invasion; the kind of threat where everyone will die if it is not dealt with; then I see no reason why the narrative needs to explain how the Awakened allies will integrate with society hundreds of years from the time the story takes place, or even that they need to integrate with society. If we are looking at a do or die scenario, I don't think that people would look a gift horse in the mouth too closely if we had an Awakened like the Messenger offering aid; the common militia of Amaranthine didn't seem too offended at accepting a Darkspawn's help.
The game needs to explain why we allow the Awakened rape factories to continue unabated, why the rape factories are somehow a morally better choice than just killing the lot of them and dealing with the demon invasion alone, and why every group in Thedas is suddenly OK with the idea of things that literally poison all of existence massing an army and crossing into their lands - the thing which is a blight by definition. Darkspawn are the closest thing to absolute evil in the setting, and are, in theological terms, basically devils.
Let's work with the rape abominations requires a lot of justifications, since at minimum you have to sell everyone on the fact that they're less bad than the demons. Who don't poison the land. And who, in the endgame, would be banished forever beyond the Veil.
DA:A has the people that opened with "kill it immediately on sight" not react to the "let it help option", but that looks like a complete failure of the game as opposed to a plausible reaction, given how strongly they then advocate for killing it if you tie it up.

Exactly. They don't die of old age, thus have no need to reproduce to keep their numbers up. The only reason they need Broodmothers is to replace the Darkspawn who are killed in combat. If the Awakened Ones lead the Darkspawn to no longer mindlessly slaughter people, then that eliminates the need for them to create Broodmothers and thus no longer need to kidnap women.
Like I said: that's just ignorant.
We started DA:A with a darkspawn civil war. If the Awakend all decide to hold hands and sing kumbaya, and there is never under any circumstances
any fracturing or crime in their society, then they would still need a peace treaty with the dwarves and suffer 0 losses from raids or any kind of foreign attack.
And again, that's clearly ignoring the fact that darkspawn can die if they trip on a rock and break their neck. Or fall of a bronto. Or get caught in a cave-in.
But yes, if somehow the darkspawn become more morally pure than every other single race in Thedas, more socially and cullturally unified than every race in Thedas, then yes, they won't need to reproduce.
All it takes for that is for the Awakened darkspawn to create a literal utopia. That's about as likely as the Maker (a) existing and (
coming down from the sky and curing the lot of them from the taint.
