Novice repaired irrigation intake, final steps used congealing pvc cement, now I'm haunted and scared

My first actual plumbing project done entirely on my own, replaced leaking black 3" flex piping w pvc, about 6 feet. In the end the cement I had was old and consistency of jelly. Instead of going out and buying new I went ahead used it and now I'm haunted/scared. It came out really clean and I now have much regret for not taking the final step correctly.

The place I repaired is intake from gravity fed 3" piping direct from irrigation ditch to my yard (3" intake reduced to 1.5", 90° up, 90° over), where it comes in to my pump, so the parts I replaced aren't under direct pressure. What scares me most is once the ditch opens up, whatever the results of my work I may be stuck until the end of the season to replace/repair.

Ditch opens up in April. How fucked am I?
