Should I stay in the IB program?

I don’t think MIT will make a difference between IB vs something else as long as you’re on the most rigorous path in your school. IB is not seen more rigorous than AP (imo they should, but they don’t).

But you’re right on one thing: you will have much less free time if you choose to continue with the IB program, even with easier subjects. It is a good program, but very time consuming.

On the other hand, if the community college’s courses will not satisfy you, it will be a tough choice. Maybe, you can participate to a few classes in CC before deciding which way is better for you

Btw, Calc 3 is usually a multivariable calculus lesson (AP BC is Calc 2 in most college).
