I don't recall the age problem, but it had to do with HS/college players coming out at the wrong ages. Maybe the college players stayed in too long? I forget.
The other problem was in talent bloat, IIRC feeders over time cranked out too many good players (maybe just relievers?). I don't know how that works nowadays, and no one seems to discuss feeder leagues on the boards much so I wonder if people have sort of gone away from them generally. Now that the game by default assigns players colleges/high schools, that's close enough for me. Stats-only folks must use them though, otherwise what stats would they use to draft?

The thing that really interested me about HS & College Feeder Leagues was having full school statistics available. I don't know why, but that seems so cool to me.
One thing that really bothers me about brand new, fictional League Creation is how you can only have 2 sub-leagues. You can have a gazillion Divisions & Teams, but only 2 sub-leagues, like American League & National League. Why can't we have more? What I really wanted was to create leagues and divisions like MLB in the 80s. But, I wanted 4, not just 2 like the MLB - American League Red, American League Blue, National League Red, National League Blue. So, there would be 2 World Series type of championships (AL Red vs NL Red & AL Blue vs. NL Blue) and then the big grandaddy Championship. They;d be called something different, but that's the general idea.
I don't see why that's not allowed.
