I know those listed above are all thick as pig shit but are any as dangerous as Boris? He's actively harmful rather than just a bit slow witted.
There's no way Baker is getting anywhere close to winning.
It'll be Truss.

Possibly - but for the sake of the country, someone competent would be good. Also a fresh cabinet that actually have some intelligence. Of your list, maybe Truss has the best chance (and has cleverly been away while this has gone on), but I can't see any of his acolytes getting the job - they are all tarnished by close association. There will still be plenty of post-Johnson shit to come out before the election (covid enquiry etc) + cost of living / brexit isn't going to miraculously get better any time soon.

The downside of Johnson going for me has always been that they might find someone competent and electable to replace him. The majority they have will take some overturning and would normally take 1 or 2 electoral cycles.
Looking at the news this morning, the bigger fear must be we end up with someone even worse, Braverman, Truss or Baker....
Whilst it may play into a Tory loss at next election, without even skin deep competence the current domestic, environmental and strategic challenges could all deteriorate further.
What a shit show.
