Ultimately stats show that kids under 5 (and especially around 2-3) get squashed at a much higher rate than kids that are tall enough to be seen out the back window. Rear view cameras are a tool and I highly recommend using that tool as an added tool in your toolbox.
For these two scenarios (1.short kids and 2. can't see shit when backing out of a park), the alternative is to drive back slowly and hope.
I also wonder to what extent this is a particular issue with larger vehicles. Most of my parking maneuvers are performed with a Mk5 Golf, a very small car where I have near-complete visibility from the driver's seat, and the practicality of that size was part of the appeal for me.
I find the issue is when you are parked between two large vehicles!
