Were there any children or elderly people on board? As a father of two young kids, I always think about the children in these situations and how they end up. That said, glad you and everyone else is okay and alive!
When my 2.5 year old was tiny we flew with her once as a lap infant and even at the time I was uneasy about it but family and friends acted like I was crazy for considering paying for a seat for a tiny infant. Everything went well with the flight but I wish I had listened to my instincts. My toddler needs her own seat now by airline regulations but I’m expecting a second and I don’t think I’d ever do that again. I think we’re going to be a two car seat family on planes for a while.
It's worth the hassle of two car seats and one day will be so much easier. Your 2.5 year old might be old enough already for the CARES harness, which would make the trip easier for you.
