Didn’t a couple states try to keep Trump OFF the ballot in this election? And eventually the USSC said they couldn’t? Or is my memory of recent events faulty?

Yes, they did - under the Insurrection Clause, which even the liberal wing of the Court felt was sufficiently amenable to differing interpretation that allowing states on their own to decide what actions were, and were not, an "insurrection" would result in an unworkable patchwork of enforcement.

No such ambiguity exists with the 22nd Amendment. There is no possible argument that Trump could run for a third term, should he win in 2024. There isn't a remotely plausible case to make.
