Other than the effort of applying, there is no harm in applying to transfer for the upcoming September (starting September 2022). If you get in with sufficient aid you can switch, and if you don’t you can stay where you are. Then if you end up staying you could apply again a year later. This is assuming that the deadline for transfer applications has not passed yet.

Your academic advisor at your current university and the admissions at the schools that you are applying to are not going to hold it against you that you tried to transfer and didn’t.

It sounds like you want to apply to colleges and universities that meet full need for transfer students. These are not always need blind for admissions.
