Again, I'm not a lawyer and I was on this visa more than 10 years ago, so maybe a lot has changed since then. Can you link to official documentation explaining this?

I'm confused what you mean by "safely". The only way it could be safer than that is if there were no approvals required from anyone to transfer.
I changed employer twice with an H1B, and both times I made damn sure that the petition was approved before giving a notice (also, back then there was no official grace period, but I would have done the same).
i think timing plays some sort of role, too. from a very small sample size, between December to April, transfers go pretty quickly. not hard to imagine the USCIS' load is higher from April to maybe October
