In this case the pawn sacrifice was both earlier, and more "traditional", giving up material in return for a quick lead in development, and an open e file against the uncastled King.

(NB Being on the end of a number of beatings by Ian Rout over the years, I think both of us realised this was a bit of 'hit and giggle' where his extravagant idea (5. ... e5) got whacked by my slightly less extravagant idea, 'Here, have the pawn on d4')
