nope, just stick to your plan and be happy about a healthy growing root system. So the problem is a solution. But as said you can put it into a biger pot without leaving your old pot - that could give you some extra space for roots , but do you want to grow roots or buds?

Pretty much the 2 options. As mentioned by others also. Option 1 is just Leave her as she is. Option 2 is put the pot inside another pot, although most long time growers would advise even agains this and tell you to leave her. Go with option one and leave her. Better safe than sorry.

I understand your concern, but transplanting now in the middle of flowering will cause more problems than benefits. I would leave it as is, add an air pump where the roots are, and create a mixed system between substrate and DWC. Transplanting, as you mentioned, will inevitably break some roots, damaging the plant, its nutrient uptake, and causing stress that will slow or halt flowering, leading to loss of weight and final quality. I hope this helps with this and future grows.

don't think it'll matter much. if moving to a large pot results in a lot of damage to the roots prying it out of the irrigation system, might be better not to do that.

Try a feeding and a heavy defoliation first, if that makes no difference then yes fill a larger container with soil and place her in it

Sitting this pot inside a larger pot and back-filling it with fresh soil is a better option than trying to transplant it.

i;d just leave it. its already in bloom and transplanting that could set it back. Just feed it as needed and the roots will air prune themselves.
