That is a little close but you've a lot of wood there.....
when you say 3.7" to hole center line...does that mean you've only
2.7" from the edge of the hole to end of the joist?
What's above it? What kind of bearing forces are in the joist?
New / ongoing construction or remodel?
I'd still be inclined to forget about it.....
you know, your repair really won't take much force unless you "unload"
& shore the joist, install fix, let glue dry, remove shoring.
Just slapping doublers over the hole doesn't make them take any load &
since you're not in earthquake country, the load the joist sees now is
pretty much the load it will see forever (unless construction is
ongoing)
