Eldarion's "age pause button" is necessitated by the LOTR story.
It is described that Aragorn decides to die when Eldarion is fit to reign.
In order for Arwen to have any real time to enjoy as queen Eldarion has to be delayed in his ability to take up reign.
Untill now I always thought Eldarion was the youngest of Arwen's and born relatively late in the marriage. This cannot be now as he is now the starting point of Arwen's transitioning into the Numenorean aging scheme, so he has to be born relatively soon after the marriage and be the firstborn. So he has to be prevented to mature too fast so that he doesn't grow to old before Aragron decides to die.
