Maybe had Istredd, had any of them, not hid knowledge about Jack, Lucifer wouldn't have been so reckless, but they will never know a different route because once reality sets properly on its axis Lucifer will be aware of all the consequences spanning out from one attack and lasting centuries.
(And he could say he didn't care, it was irrelevant, he's dealt worse blows to more important people in his life, long, long ago, but.
But there was always a Cage between him and those mountain of issues.)
He was tired of being caged within his own vessel and this was his best bet and he could make this work (FINALLY), up until he couldn't, up until he miscalculated, and Istredd got to him, anyway. In the end. Despite his best efforts.
Lucifer should've known to plan for Kyle.
(Lucifer may not be alive if he had planned for Kyle.)
There's no surprise at Istredd by his side. Just a casual indifference. A vague feeling like of course but nothing more. The next expected result is of course running. Logical. Lucifer can't actually talk himself out of this scenario, when Sabine wakes up (because of course it's when, he didn't kill her) he won't necessarily be able to stand toe to toe with her...
They have to go.
Now.
The transport is staggering, even for him. The location not so much.
And unfortunately, Lucifer doesn't so much care for what he just did, what Istredd had to come upon. Lucifer is already walking off once he gets his 'sea legs.' He's already on the next course of action, disregarding that Istredd is Very Much Not. "Have to find the Overseer. Declare our arrival. Argue the need for being granted sanctuary without the details involved." Aster will help vouch for them, maybe.
