I think this sort of issue of screwing up and going backwards is common place in the early development off civilisation more so than total annihilation. So my bet is with Anomalocaris we will lightly totally screw up annihilating ourselves. Just think how easy it would be to go backwards right now if Russia started launching nukes the people would survive but given a significant enough amount of damage people could start to perceive progress more as the enemy. If we don't go this way we still may improve over a more intensive fossil fuel era but people shouldn't count their chickens on man not screwing up.
