... a kid with three parents may well have a hard time fitting into a legal system that assumes only two.
No, the legal system has long had to deal with far more complex situations. Its not just the two biological parents who have legal standing with a child.

Sperm donors do not go on the birth certificate, and donors of eggs without chromosomes would have even less reason.
at what point does the result stop being a lab experiment and start being a human being with the same rights as everyone else?
In most, countries, many such rights are acquired at the time of birth, and others at age milestones, notably 18.
Embryos and foetuses are never legal persons, so cannot have legal rights as such. It does not mean there is not a mountain of regulations protecting them.
