QDRO - Do I Need One?

"I was legally separated from my spouse in 2009. We agreed on our legal separation (filed in court) to split all retirement 50/50. The value of my 401k/IRA was worth about the same as his municipal pension + IRA at that time. The intent was that he got 50% of my 401k/IRA and I got 50% of his Pension. We never got or filed a QDRO. Fast forward to last year. He could start collecting his municipal pension. Since no QDRO was ever filed we filled out the paperwork together. I signed off on him getting his full pension during his lifetime and I get 50% after his death. He signed off his rights as beneficiary on my 401k/IRA and pension (all of the pension was earned after 2009) and I sent that in and it was approved. Do we/should we still get a QDRO or is the the paperwork we sent in to his municipal pension plan and my 401k/pension plan enough?"
