Your kids application won't see any progress. It will just complete in the end with yours. You can still create a separate tracker account for your kid. Regarding the speed it's not bad to start worrying as of now.

Its simpler with parent under Subsection 5(2)
If applied independently(Subsection 5(2)) need to fulfil 1095 days requirement
I don't believe this is correct, in fact applied under this status for my child without 1095 days, and processed quickly with no issues:

It's under 5(1) (where no parent is a citizen) that the child must meet the 1095 days requirement.

You can apply for your daughter separately when you are a citizen, no residency requirement. So you will just have to wait until she gets her name issue fixed AND you have your citizenship.
From my experience this will be somewhat quicker than applying together with your spouse's citizenship application (because spouse's language, and citizenship tests have to be done, and background checks can take longer for adults).
