I would discourage reloading a hard Save that far back, as it would pretty much kill the experience of roleplaying your first trip through the game, especially with 2 of you to think about.

Now that the traitor's left, you are
Fighter (Warrior)
Minsc (Warrior)
Jaheira (.5 Warrior, .5 Priest)
Aerie (.5 Priest, .5 Wizard)
Anomen (.25 Warrior, .75 Priest)
Which means you've got a lot of Warrior, and an awful lot of Priest, but your Wizard spells are sorely lacking, and you really really really NEED some Thief in there. Even if you added Jan Jansen (.5 Thief, .5 Mage) as a replacement, you'd still be a bit heavy in the Priest category, I feel.

Personally, I prefer a party setup roughly like
At least 2 Warrior
1 to 1.5 Priest (hopefully casting from both sides of the Priest Scroll)
1.5 Wizard
At least .5 Thief


PLOT MINI-SPOILER: When you left Athkatla, I hope you packed for a looooong trip. There are no, repeat NO, Temples to be found in Chapter 5, so keep that Rod of Resurrection and those Restoration scrolls handy.
