Mega_Spud, this issue is specifically about the documentation for Minecraft Realms; you may have missed the detail if you only read the issue quickly.
The FAQ, on page https://minecraft.net/en-us/realms/faq/, states "it doesn't require an Xbox at all", however this is not entirely correct. The fix suggestion is to change the Minecraft Realms FAQ (yes, longer term, is an Xbox live issue, but not the initial documentation issue, which is Minecraft Realms).
For a child account, you do need access to an Xbox in order to add them to your Xbox family – otherwise they do not appear in the Xbox family and you cannot modify the permissions as you suggest. (They are in your Microsoft family; just not Xbox).
If you close this issue, without updating the FAQ, then you should mark it as "will not fix" (not "resolved").
All it would require is a simply change to the text on the Minecraft Realms website FAQ that says something like " * To add a child account to an Xbox Family, in order to change privacy settings to allow access to Minecraft Realms, does require one-off access to an Xbox console (you can borrow one off a friend) to add the child to the family."
It is only a documentation fix; no code change required. Please re-open.
