The show is only lighthearted when villains like Chrysalis aren't around, it has a whole different tone to it when they are. King Sombra and Tirek's scenes have a completely different atmosphere to any scene in the Slice of Life episodes, which make up the majority of the series. And King Sombra shattered to pieces. But if her falling to her death and splattering like bug guts is less family-friendly than Sombra, maybe that's why they staged her fall in a similar way to Team Rocket, to make it more subtle.

Last we saw her she was sent flying horizontally, but eventually she'd fall downwards. Some of her changelings were shown falling down toward the forest. Compare being punched by a Tank when on top of the building or bridge in Left 4 Dead 2. Also compare Team Rocket, every time they go "blasting off" they'd eventually fall downwards, except due to their immortality and being more comedic villains they always survive. And if she didn't fall downwards, it's only because she was so close to the blast that she was sent flying into space.

And shouldn't you be posting this under my "Fall of Queen Chrysalis" blogs I linked to?
