For instance, anything with item renderers must create its children in commitProperties() or maybe even updateDisplayList() because you probably won't know how many children you need until you have some data or even the dimensions of the component. I wouldn't say this is too strange. Obviously, if a specific number of children need to exist throughout the entire life of the component, then yes, absolutely, create them in createChildren().
