More details to this question:
My i485 case has been pending for 382 days and nothing yet. My i140 was just approved 20 days ago after paying premium processing. Now, I am thinking of making an inquiry even though the date is not due for it yet. Can I go ahead or there is a repercussion for doing that. They keep moving the dates for inquiries forward. I am just tired because the people close to me in the same profession that I filed before them have received their green cards without premium processing and lesser wait time. Priority date is current 10/15/2021.

You are unfortunately stuck in the same situation with many people who see their cases being held up while others in similar situations are being approved. You have noted the further problem that the date for launching an inquiry with USCIS keeps moving forward. There is no harm to your case by putting in an inquiry at this time although it may not help if USCIS says that the time for inquiry is not now. If it makes you feel better, you can do it and hopefully it will help.
