Do you have too many crew members?

Is there something locking you to the planet, like a side quest?

We need more information.

There's a bunch of things that can disable exploration events or prevent you from leaving the planet. All of the former are mission-related, so they don't apply, but there are still things that satisfy the latter:
  • Disarmed and ship is in the New Texas hangar
  • RK Lah is with you (Plantation Quest, so doesn't apply)
  • Crew Ramis is currently out partying
  • The Event Whorizon is active
  • Your crew (except those that don't take up a crew space) exceeds your ship's crew capacity
  • You have more in your ship's storage than it can fit
In order to get the scene you're looking for, none of the above must apply and your ship also needs to be in the Tavros Station hangar. Given that the scene's text assumes Steele and Ellie are both on New Texas at the start then travel to Tavros, I think that's actually a bug. EDIT: made a bug report.

I was able to leave New Texas while unarmed. You have to in order to get Ellie to Uveto and get the fertility shot.

Where are you getting this? Ellie's wiki page needs updating with pregnancy info.

Does this mean i cant access the scene at all? Or are there cheats to force the scene to start?
You could use the Impulse cheat and enter "ellieTakeOnTripToNursery" (without the quote marks, of course). To be safe, make sure you're in the gift shop and save before you do it.
Would unequpping my weapons before entering customs prevent the disarmed stat?
No. Going through customs gives you the status effect regardless of if you have weapons equipped, probably because if it didn't, you could get around that by re-equipping your weapons afterwards.

This is a different scene (specifically, after she's laid the eggs but before they've hatched), which has different checks for availability. The checks for the scene you're talking about don't include "it's okay to leave the planet" and are working as intended.

The TiTS Public source code over at GitHub, specifically includes/game.as to check the disableExploreEvents and leavePlanetOK functions, includes/newTexas/newTexas.as for the above customs disarming, and includes/newTexas/ellie.as for the rest.​

Ah, gotcha.

EDIT: I just showed up at the nursery a lo and behold, there's Ellie. I didn't use any cheats, it just happened. I didn't fly her to Tavros; she made her way there on her own.

This is before her eggs have hatched, though. Is the issue only with taking her on a visit after the hatchening?

I had another visit from Ellie at the nursery after the eggs had hatched. So far, it seems she visits on her own much like Zephyr.

Ellie will tend to show up randomly at the nursery after the eggs are laid. Like the screen shot you posted she'll come play with your other kids while she waits and then she'll come when the eggs hatch. After that you'll be able to run into her randomly like Zephyr. When you go to interact with her kids sometimes you'll run into her there playing with them and you'll get a little scene with all of you having some family fun.
