You don’t know if it’s root bound until you remove the pot and check all of the roots. The plant doesn’t look like it’s suffering from being root bound. Moving up to a bigger pot can cause more issues if it’s not time to repot.

You can chop the bottom third of the roots if you don’t want to upsize, but for sensitive ones like calatheas, dieffenbachias and alocasias, just upsize.
