1) Out of all the Grimm species of which we've seen both young and older forms, the older ones have always been either bigger, or bigger and bonier. Not "roughly same size but less boney".

It doesn't matter shit if we know or don't know how Grimm work. We've seen a constant already, assuming Grimm can lose boneplate when growing goes against that constant, and since, like you said, we don't know how Grimm work, there's no reason to assume that could be possible when we have like 6 different Grimm that say otherwise.

2) The Sphinx isn't really that much bigger than the Manticores, and in fact it has a more slender build. Plus, thinking Grimm must surely adhere to physics when flying is meaningless when we have a giant Dragon who can fly without problem despite the size and weight (since it must be pretty dense to shrug off all that was thrown at it).

Not to mention the Sea Dragon, who was able to rise up from the sea and fly before it even opened up it's wings.
