I don't think it's about convincing yourself because Saito also got stuck there and he seemed to be very unhappy and filled with regret.

But the whole reason they went there was to get Fischer and Saito, right? So it had to be true limbo or else they just never ended up where they needed to go.

And if people got younger when they realized, wouldn't there have been a time when Leo grew younger while Mal stayed old? Wouldn't we have seen that?

It seems to me that the whole bit about limbo just isn't explained well enough and we don't even know what we can use as evidence because stuff like Leo and Saito talking there is apparently a dream of a dream (at least, the way we see the end of the film.) And the audience has to just make stuff up to explain key scenes.
