As per amex, GC and upgrades don't count towards TC so I'm not too quick to just believe what they say until it's tried and proven.
See my updated post - you must've misread LoungeBuddy.

When they say you may bring 2 guests, that's usually a separate policy than the spouse/kids policy... Amex and LB main site don't seem to mention anything about spouse and kids leading me to think this is correct

You must have misread LoungeBuddy.

https://www.loungebuddy.com/blog/airspace-lounge-ultimate-guide/

American Express Platinum Card and Centurion Card Members

AMEX Platinum and Centurion Card members have free access to Airspace Lounges, and are allowed to bring up to two guests each into the lounge.


And directly from Americanexpress.com 

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/benefits/detail/the-lounge-collection/platinum

"Keep in mind that each program in The Global Lounge Collection has its own guest policies:

The Centurion® lounge network 
The Centurion Lounge:  Platinum Card® Members may bring immediate family (spouse or domestic partner and their children under 18) OR up to two (2) companions in with you. 
The Centurion Studio:  Platinum Card® Members may bring immediate family (spouse or domestic partner and their children under 18) OR one (1) companion in with you.

Airspace Lounge: 
You can bring two guests with you at no additional cost. To bring any additional guests, you'll be responsible for the guest fees, which vary by location.
"
What you just quoted says you can bring your spouse and all your children under age 18 OR 2 guests

Per airspace site, adult policy applies to kids above 2.

Like I said before, policy says one thing, trial and error confirms. I'd like to hear from an actual experience to confirm this.

Airspace had no problem letting me, DW, and my kid in on one card. Also got the $10 credit for each of us (not the baby)

Theres no chiddush there because their policy was that 2 guests are allowed. It would only be a DP if you had 3 guests (above age 2).
