The last option is the most plausible. Badass boss wants to fight a badass protagonist without using a cheap way. It's very unlikely that PJ took the laser for Cipher, no matter how heroic it sounds. Unlike Excalibur, the laser range for Morgan isn't shown on the radar. None of them know what enemy aircraft is approaching, and I don't believe PJ is skilled enough to predict an enemy laser unless he saw the flash like Pixy did. Even if he did saw the flash, TLS has little time between firing and impact, he wouldn't be able to "protect" Cipher in time should the TLS was aimed at Cipher. Hit by a random attack is even more difficult. See the slow motion part. The laser was seen clearly almost hitting thr Falcon's belly. If PJ was "hitting" the laser, he would fly nose first into the beam. They were not flying at high speed to make it possible for a random laser to hit PJ. They were flying in "idling" mode where you don't press either L1 or R1. My conclusion, Pixy aimed for PJ.
