I would not rely on on a lag screw, especially where it could spin/rotate. I put a pair of 2x4's with 1/2" plywood spacers across 2 joists (attic) and used a threaded eye bolt/locknut and a 3/4" plywood "washer" to hang a similar chair, and likewise on a "floating" corner of a loft bed, rather than a corner post to the floor...
I agree. Don't drill a hole to weaken the one joist you are using to
support the load. Spread the load over two or more joists.
