Yeah, it really seems like the LN changed the sequence of things quite a bit once you get to the Empire Rebellion arc. In addition to the Philine meeting and the Alfred showdown, there was also the whole thing about bone-china porcelain (which gets moved from happening during the arc to being done in his own territory after returning) and several smaller items. But I can actually agree that  the changes help the pacing and story overall.

As for the kids all having magic too, despite the fact that magic is allegedly random, that's actually a major point of the conversations the Demon has with Duke Nurnberg in the latter half of the Empire Rebellion arc. He explains that somehow Wend activated, around the age of six, dormant genome parts from the Ancient Magic Civilization that haven't been seen in 10,000 years, and that those genes can add heritability to magic. This goes against what the Demon understood of those genes, which is that their status would be set at birth instead of activating later (of course we obviously know why, since six is Wend's age when his Japanese personality gets isekai'd into this world.) Combine that with the exploration about how his wives' magic capacity grew simply from sleeping with him, and we get an unusual balance-unsettling series of events that the kingdom definitely wants to keep control over.
