I think it is okay for PSL to not have a loud position on Trotsky. They are actually an offshoot of Trotskyist party splits of splits of splits adopting a "AES projects are real and should be defended" line, which contradicts the most toxic aspect of Anglo Trotskyism. The thing to criticize is the extent to which they retain other holdovers from Trotskyism, which I won't list out but are something to think on critically (and productively!) if you join.
It's also okay to be a commie in DSA if you can handle the constant liberalism around you. You can recruit and educate more commies using it. The Red Star caucus does this to an extent. But it really only works if you have a high tolerance for liberalism and can have 2+ people in that caucus in your local chapter.
There are also often local orgs of commies that all got sick of the same things you are. They all have different names but they will often be in coalitions that are appealing to commies. Anti-imperialist work or mutual aid work, for example.
