It is crazy, my son has played travel ball in Alabama due to the lack of local leagues. The leagues are great until 9U by then most of the better players are playing travel ball. They played mostly PG tournaments. Several kids on his teams have been held back in school, based on what the parents say it is strictly because of sports. I know at least 2 friends who held their kids back in 6th grade for football. The convo normally starts with he will be a beast due to being a year older. He is now on the 7th grade team.

This summer in our area middle baseball and basketball played 6 games. My son had bbaseball practice each day 9:00-11:00, then basketball 2:00-4:00. After that they worked out from 7:00-8:15 3 days a week. Plus 1-2 games in each sport during June. He loves sports, I’ll let him play as long as he keeps an A average.

No difference, just like when any other person becomes famous while in high school or before.
If anything, there won't be that many endorsements to be had, and parents might get the lesson one step sooner that Jaxton isn't as special as they think he is.

It is good. It will help teach kids early that not everybody gets a trophy. There will be that kid that puts in his time in the weight room, running stadiums, and has a natural aptitude, that allows him to run a 4.35 his Jr. year.
When he shows up with new Jordans and a Benz to 2 a days in Sr. year., The other kids will get a big lesson.

I agree with everything else you said…social media posts and pushing the college camps and all of that is so much different, but we had two-a-days when I was in high school
That being said…it was already getting out of hand before NIL and it’s only going to get worse because parents/kids will have the perception that they need to spend all of this extra money for Johnny to get “looks” and to be recruited. When Johnny has no offers and his only option to play at the next level is to pay $30k a year at a D3, the parents will look for someone to blame (usually the HS coaches)
My advice (for football at least), go to a couple of camps in the summer, listen to your high school coaches, go to all the weight lifting sessions and workouts and enjoy playing HS sports - college recruiting resources are insane right now. If you’re good enough they’ll find you

This is the aspect of travel ball I’ve never understood for so many people. In my circumstance, I grew up in New Orleans. We played playground leagues and then select teams were chosen for games against other playground select teams across the metro area. It was a great system that also helped maintain neighborhood public facilities. There are a million people in the New Orleans metro area. No kids need to travel to find competition and it’s an absolute shame so many parents have pulled their kids out of playground leagues and put them behind a paywall to play.
