The good news is you won't have to keep getting booster shots indefinitely!
The reason is the more shots you get, the greater chance you'll die of myocarditis

That's using the green numbers for Dose 2. So that's a .0015% probability I'll get myocarditis from an annual booster before I die. And from what I'm reading, most of these cases resolve on their own. They aren't likely to kill you.
All of us are going to get vaccinated, get the disease, or both. I've been reading that your chances of getting myocarditis from COVID, the disease, are higher than your chances of getting it from the vaccine.
From your table I figure the probability I'd die from COVID if I never got vaccinated may be about 500X to 1000X greater than the probability I'd get myocarditis during my remaining lifetime by getting a booster every year. And, again, if I get myocarditis from the vaccine, it probably won't kill me.
Now there could actually be an issue with younger males. And there's also potentially an issue with younger females getting the J&J vaccine and getting blood clots. If you're young and this worries you the solution is simple. If you're female get Moderna or Pfizer. If you're male get J&J.
The situation for the clots is like Myocarditis. Even if you're female, you're more likely to get it from the disease than from the J&J vaccine.
