Not sure if I can add much to this, as I don't know anything about pecksies... (I checked our library but they don't have that anthology which has Words Like Coins.... boo!)
Re your last point, I had just assumed if pecksies emerged from cocoons spun by others then the process would be analogous to the dragons? So Others don't mate in the same way that Serpents don't. They just spin their own coccon and emerge as a pecksie (presumably other pecksies don't help the cocooning process as dragons do?)
Anyhoo, like I said I can't really speculate as I'm pretty well in the dark! So any or all of the other possibilities you mention could be true!
Elderlings reproductive processes are totally human ... aren't they? (ooooh aren't they?????) Maybe a pecksie emerges from an Elderling spun cocoon!!!!!!!!!!!! Heheheh.
