If we are to assume that the Tribute must be made of Changelings, it really makes me wonder if they've all made their Choice or not.

Might not matter, in that there would still be tactical uses for mortals. They'd have mortal magic which is unique in the context of outsiders, for example. If they choose humkna they'd still have been gifted to Winter by their parents, no different than a mortal First-Born baby or whatever traded away. Hell, that might have been how Rashid got his job once upon a time.

Sure, but you still have to put them in to proportion with the size of the army they will serve in -- millions strong.
This was more important as a symbolic gesture. There are many, many more places where outsiders/Fomor have been picking away at Winter's recruiting -- because Winter appeared too weak to defend them. Molly will no doubt have to make a few more examples, but word will get around.

Or maybe Fae are simply capable of reproducing with each other, no humans needed?

Don't seem to be or perhaps they choose not to... At least that appears to be the pattern for the Winter Court..
