Growing out of the pot is a good thing, especially here. The newer growths look good. So I'm with ES... I'd even rinse the roots as well as shake off old medium - you may get some more of the bad stuff off without harming any roots that might actually be gool (In fact, I think I see a new root emerging in the second photo, if so even better. I agree with ES - place the oldest part of the plant against the side of the new pot, so that new growths will have the most room to grow and root for a couple of years. I also suggest medium or fairly large bark, you want good drainage and lots of air space around the roots. Unless there are enough old roots to hold the plant, do stake it... it is very important that the plant be held firmly, no wobbling, so that new roots can establish without damage.
