I like to think of it the actors showcasing Ethan at different stages of his short life. I know that there was a time jump but they couldn't make Beckham  Skodje stay on as Ethan realistically and claim oh he just had his twelve birthday. No they had to have St. John Myers as an age process Ethan  (even he clearly looked dissimliar to Skodje, but whatever on that) who clearly belonged to the sub divsion of Concrete Operational Stage (Freud's childhood development). Someone growing up after that brief flashback to when Jaha was still alive shouldn't count as a recast because in Hollywood for longer productions puppies and human babies are constantly switch out as they outgrow their roles and that's not made a big deal because growing up is a natural part of life and I know some child actors stay on with their shows because they're the primary actor but you cannot handwave a huge time jump and not get a age appropriate actor.
