Depends on when. Having Diana grow up with other kids is an easily solved problem (just have some of the Amazons bringing children or being pregnant as they arrive on Themyscira).
Having kids there in the "hidden" period is trickier, but it's not something I view as particularly needful from a setting standpoint.

I don't think I want Diana that old. I like her younger than millennia. It's not important to me - but if I got to pick, it's what I'd choose.
Also, all the women happen to have girls?
Then there's the issue if the Themyscira was paradise when they came or if they made if paradise through their own efforts - that would take time. But I do want Diana growing in paradise.
Mind you, I like Diana growing up the only child. Again, it's not a deal-breaker for me, but it is my preference.
Diana as the only child who is thrilled when she gets a little sister as an adolescent is ideal for me.

I think it would be fine if, like, a young Donna arrives at Themyscira when Diana is the Amazon equivalent of a teenager and becomes Wonder Girl when Diana is an adult and established hero on Man's World.
All solvable problems, if you want to have Diana growing up with other kids. The boys might simply have been given in the care of the gods (probably Artemis and Hermes), giving the Amazons a shameful secret, and taken to Man's World by them. The age problem can be solved by time running differently.
I'm not saying things should be this way, but the possibilities are there for the writer who wants to explore Themyscira in greater depth.

I think there could be a balance solution. That the Amazons or at least many of them don’t hate men. That many lose their husbands, sons and other male relatives. When they came to the island. It was a cursed island. Any males on the island would turn into monsters even male gods. The reasons is because of the doom gate or maybe one of the other gods. Like Zeus tried to visit but Hera cursed the island. Or some Amazons who wanted to be done with the outside would cursed the island. That any who had male children went to the islands near PI. I don’t know I feel maybe Diana and the other children could be gifts. That the Amazons didn’t have peace’s at the beginning and had to fighting what Ares left behind. Than maybe Artemis or someone else gave them children who wanted them.

Medusa shouldn't be a Wonder Woman villain.
I kind of wonder what if an Amazon rescues a boy and one raises it.
Why haven’t they brought Clea back? I often thought about the fact aquaman and Diana would both work well in a storyline together in figuring out what to do with Clea
Agreed. Especially in modern times Medusa has been shown as a tragic figure and a victim, and someone that Diana should relate to and with. It'd also be good to use her to show Diana that her heroes (looking at you, Athena) aren't perfect and she doesn't need to be either
