I’ve had my pothos for 2.5 years in this pot and I’ve been getting some normal yellowing leaves, but wondering if it’s time for a repot. What do you guys think?

I think I would take it out and look over the roots well, remove any rotted/black roots and just give it a good soil refreshing. I'm sure the soil that you potted it in that long ago has lost all of its nutrients and some fresh new soil can work wonders 😊

Thank you

Yes

I agree I would repot it in a good chunky soil mix

considering you have some stem baldness, i think this is it asking for a haircut. regular pruning is necessary to stop vining plants from balding at the top. repotting is a good idea too though
