Delay H1B application via consular route?

Does it make sense to activate H1B a few year later (currently on f1 with close to 3 years on OPT remaining) Are consular route guaranteed like COS?

Yes and yes .

If you're laid off, you loose your H1B and will have to face the lottery again

Saving FICA taxes is not the way to pile up money :) don't risk it.
