Am I running any risk by leaving bottom of front bumper unattached?

I home installed a front splitter and am unable to access any of the push scew/ bolt holes to reattach to my front bumper on the bottom of the car.

My only drill bit is dulled and due to having aftermarket side markers wired- taking off the front bumper and moving it more than 1 ft away from the car is impossible which meant attaching the splitter was an absolute nightmare.

Now- am I at any risk by leaving the car as it is? All the side/ top bolts and push screws are in, and the bumper feels sturdy with the front splitter also firmly attached. My cars ride height is stock and not lowered in anyway.

Does anyone else leave the bottom screws out for bumper removal convenience and am I safe/ not at risk of the bumper popping off? I find it hard to believe if I was to hit anything that a few plastic push screws and 2 bolts are going to make a difference anyway.

Thanks
