For the record I do agree that the transcript is likely accurate. The only reason I'd really doubt that is if altering transcripts specifically is something that's described in the whistleblower complaint which started this mess.

I do think the transcript as-is looks bad for Trump in the sense that it's consistent with the existing narrative. I think that just the fact that he mentioned Biden specifically at all is pretty telling. It's not damning smoking-gun evidence, but I don't think people should ever have expected that in the first place. If there's any evidence directly linking the withholding of US aid to the Biden thing, I think it likely lies either in internal communications (ie. something like the whistleblower complaint) or in transcripts of any discussions Giuliani had with Ukranian officials.
