So today I repotted my monstera, but I noticed when repotting that she lost a lot of roots. Will she propagate well in soil or should I put her in water to grow more roots??

It can be healthy to lose roots. They get old and less productive, you actually are stimulating new healthy roots to grow in their place. Should be alright as long as you still have some roots
