Input shaft bearing chirp

I know there's many threads on this topic but none that seemed to answer my questions. I have a d16y8 manual

The chirp is most audible when I shift from 1,2,3 and accelerate. Sometimes at idle I can hear it which at first misled me to think it was a loose belt or bad pulley.

It doesn't have a grinding noise like most report, and it does go away when the clutch is pressed.

My questions, is there a time frame from the symptoms I've given of how long I can continue driving on it before it gets really ugly?

Are there any dangerous risks in driving right now?

Would it be a better choice to source a used transmission or replacing the bearing?

Thanks
