Those pumpkin bombs are no different, all it did was one-shot regular humans in that particular scene
The novel states that the vaporizing bomb exploded in a different way.

The armored monster swung back around, his demented laughter ringing in Mary Jane’s ears with such force that she felt as if the entire world consisted of nothing but his crazed cackling. She bit back her fear, didn’t succeed, cried out in panic, and then saw him coming in fast as he hurled another pumpkin bomb.

This is it, I’m going to die, she thought, because another explosion would finish them off for sure.

Except it didn’t explode.

Instead the bomb landed with a thunk right in front of the members of the OsCorp board. She heard it whirring, making a metallic sound, and she pulled herself up enough to see it rising into the air as they stared at it in confusion. None of them made a move to help her. Taking a deep breath, M. J. gave it everything she had and started to haul herself up.

Suddenly the bomb exploded, but not like the other one had. This one erupted in a flash of brilliant orange, so bright and searing that it irradiated half a dozen members of the board. Just as it went off, Mary Jane looked away. Being mostly blocked by the balcony itself, she was preserved from harm, but she was nearly flash blinded. And she caught a quick impression of those board members closest to it being literally turned into X-ray images of themselves.

The concussion of the blast caused the balcony to separate even further, and Mary Jane slid back, almost skidding off the edge completely. Harry was blinking furiously, apparently trying to get his eyes cleared from whatever damage the bomb had done to him. He was crawling across the balcony, trying not to cause it to tilt even further, and he was reaching out to Mary Jane to try and snag her hand. M. J. stretched her arm as far as she could, her fingers almost touching his.

Spider-Man (2002) pages 256-257

Ultimately tho, it doesn't matter, as even the standard bomb has more or less the same yield as seen with Eddie and the Symbiote perishing to it.
