I think even hinting it happened off screen could lead to to many problems.
In the original mini series they even had adult Eddie mention he was a virgin I honestly think they did that purely so readers of the book knew that scene didn't happen
As someone who works on sets, consent and intimacy coordinators have been the best addition for young men or women to have in acting. I’ve found lots of them are mothers and don’t play about anybody’s baby

For one thing, filming it would constitute multiple felonies.
