Shock? Horse hockey! Trans if you wish! Personally, I do my last up potting 10 days before they go to bloom. This is soil and organic, water only.
As a note, I generally "cut" my roots at the bottom of the pot by slicing in a cross shape, and re potting.....Old greenhouse trick.
Root bound? So simply feed the plant what it needs and the limited root space is basically meaningless! Increase the feedings and not the concentration of the feed solution. I feed synthetics run plants everyday at lights on. I feed just enough to get them to the next day, same time. These plants are run in 1 pot size smaller then organic plants.. Basically 2 and 3 gallon pots vs 5 and 7 gallon pots. Yields are just about the same but, the synthetic running plants need better support.

Pot it up. If it was flowering heavily then no. Go for it.

I mostly go to larger containers after a week or two of 12/12, it won't bother the plant in fact she'll love it. Sometimes I trans plant just before flower times, depends on how much vigor she has.

To get the best returns from an up potting (when using organic soils). You up pot to fresh bloom soil 8-10 days before flipping. The idea is to get the roots extending into the new soil to start. This allows them to grow into the soil for the next weeks of bloom, all the while allowing the soils nutrition to feed the plant. It generally begins to slowly reduce later in bloom.
By up potting after going into bloom. You are not allowing the rooting plant to fully make use of the available nutrition in the soil, during those early weeks where it really needs that to fire the bloom up..
Bottom line. You get better yields up potting earlier.
