Edit 1: Responding to TL;DR
1. Everyone is likely to get COVID at some point
2. Unvaccinated are going to be worst affected
3. Healthy and fully vaccinated are probably not gonna benefit from boosters
4. Boosters should be decided based on risk for severe outcome and hospitalization

Covid boosters should be targeted based on risk factors for severe disease, says Johns Hopkins scholar
comments
Also, you really don't know what underlying conditions you may have. There are even be genetic susceptibilities.
Just because booster complications < COVID complications, doesn't mean healthy people need to take it. Sure, JnJ's turned out be producing ineffective antibodies, so I understand those folks going for a booster.
CDC provides a list of medical conditions that put one at a risk of severe disease and hospitalization. I would prioritize getting assessed for such conditions before taking a booster just because there is a new variant.

Most though will make their own antibodies and can stand a slight delay between them and the virus load.
