1. And what are the odds we'll see a 3D model of Summer? Yet we have her 2D image from the STRQ photo art as her profile pic.

2. Because building models with textures and rigs, as well as doing the same for the environment(s) they'll be animated in, takes considerably more work than making simplistic WoR style 2D animations. The only reason Ren and Nora got special treatment was because their flashback took up a very large chunk of an episode, while Blake's story about the White Fang was just a quick WoR type lore bit and Yang's was a short story she was telling to Blake. The Schnees' childhood appearances are from a painting, so of course theirs is 2D.

The amount of time Ren and Nora's flashback took up in the episode, the fact that it was shown rather than told, etc justified making 3D models. It's not that they decided they'll use those models of Nora and Ren's childhood appearance more than any of the other characters' childhood appearances, it's that the situation justified the extra effort. Like Mini said, we don't know if we'll ever see Ren and Nora's childhood selves again.

3. Seeing child Nora twice is hardly an argument since it was twice in one volume.

4. What does it matter that they won't look exactly the same? Tai doesn't look exactly the same as he did in the STRQ photo, but we used his STRQ photo depiction for his profile pic until he appeared in the volume 3 finale.

If we add any, we should add all.
