If I have a dashboard layout that's 'use client' does that mean all children (and everything inside my dashboard that's wrapped by that layout is now client component ?)

Only components imported to that layout become client components

The restriction only applies to the root layout. Other layouts can be client components just fine. Whether it is good practice is another matter
