If they wait and JT remains the LPC leader in the next election, all of Jagmeet's criticisms of him will ring hollow for the same reason - you were keeping them in power this whole time, and the results of that effort were, on the whole, bad (i.e., can be sold to most Canadians as bad).
If they wait and the LPC replace JT with a new leader who gives them a new lease on life (I don't think it's possible for them to win at this point but 100 seats isn't impossible) then I think that any such new momentum is likely going to come, to not small extent, at the expense of the NDP. Probably more from the CPC but only because the CPC has such a huge lead in projected seat count right now that they stand to lose a lot more of them if there's a 3-5% LPC polling bump, and of course the CPC can afford to lose those seats and still wind up with a majority.
Not sure what the least bad option is there.

Jagmeet and his handlers didn’t play their cards well. I get the tail wagging the dog strategy. But he strung it out over too long of a period through the full Trudeau tire fire. Now he just looks like a hypocrite.
Both Trudeau and Singh will be out of politics after the next election. Trudeau because he’ll be deemed a cancer and Singh by affiliation.
