What needs is your current lens / camera not meeting for family photos? Answer that and move from that point.

If you mean single members of your family in low light with no flash, f/2.8 will work. If you mean groups of 3+, an f/2.8 aperture will be of little use to get all the members in focus in most candid situations. Do you have some examples to attach as a basis of discussion, so we can consider all the possible ideas for the situation(s) you want to address?

The OP stated what he wants. “Needs” were not involved. Is it unreasonable that he might have what he wants ?
It seems verrrrry few lenses are made that fit his spec, so why is the answer not straight forward ?
OTOH, given as there’s barely a coupla choices, beats me why the OP is asking such a pointless question. The only real question is “Need help choosing lens-A vs lens-B”.
And since the choices are so limited and that the OP has set the spec, no point in the usual “what subjects, what working conditions” sillyhog interrogation.

I believe this lens has a constant 2.8

"I will just keep what have and be HAPPY"
You already have a lens that is f2.8 at maximum lens opening. Do you really need another lens with a fixed f2.8 aperture? You did not mention the conditions under which you will use the lens or why the f2.8 aperture is so important for your images.
I have several variable aperture lenses and I have never felt limited by them.
