Yeah, they should've done a lot more with that gene bomb. Although it indeed wasn't planet-busting, the way it would've dispersed whatever anti-human pathogen it used is very similar to the supposed Toba supervolcano eruption that, about 75,000 years ago, erupted with enough force to send smoke across the entire globe, which would've been about equivalent to 100,000 Little Boys going off at once. AKA Way more force than any nuclear bomb detonated in history, including the 50 megaton Tsar Bomba.

Keep in mind that (compared to actual explosives like missiles) little actual heat was probably caused/used by the blast of the gene bomb, so that was probably a factor in Carnage surviving, but it's still easily far above even Island level potency.
