If all the carbon stored in fossil fuels was once in the atmosphere, should the planet then have been too warm to sustain life?

The world used to be hotter and more humid, that’s why prehistoric animals are so big. Also, it took thousands of years for biomass to turn into fossil fuels and we’ve been burning through it way faster than that, so we’re releasing energy much much more quickly than it was sequestered.
