A significant advantage of having a large family is that, in a difficult situation, aids are is more likely to come from others.

Maybe clarify this statement a bit more. Do you mean you will receive aid from family members or people outside the family? Other than this tiny adjustment, it’s good.👍🏼

The second sentence is much more natural and expresses your idea clearly. However, to make it a little bit more natural, I would write:

A significant advantage of having a large family is that there are always people who support you in difficult situations.

I don't think the use of the word "one" in this sentence is incorrect, but it sounds slightly awkward to me. Unless you are writing formally (like in an essay) and must avoid using personal pronouns completely (I, you, we, etc.), I would use "you" as opposed to "one".
