I think that pretty much covers it, ultimately it's up to the OP to decide which factors are more important to him.
I'm in a similar-ish place in life, and am seriously considering whether I need to apply to work in Australia before I lose the ability to get the <30 visa. Having kid(s) makes it more challenging to move for sure. Losing grandparents babysitting is a big loss, imo.
Also, how is your wife going to feel about uprooting again if you decide working for the gov't is destroying your will to live after a few years?

It's not just the babysitting that will be lost. It is the close relationship your children probably have with their grandparents right now that will be lost.
I know. I grew up in Saskatchewan, living with one set of grandparents until I was 6, and living only 6 miles from the other set of grandparents.
We moved to Alberta, fresh out of university, our kids were born here etc.
Calgary is close to 10 hours driving time to where I grew up in Saskatchewan. Yeah, we visited a couple of times a year but our children simply never had the same relationship with their grandparents like I did.
