I absolutely agree ...I have been down that road before.
I stop potting pups in late August.
However I will separate the pup from the mother.
I do not remove the pup from the pot
I do not disturb any roots on the pup side ..I cut just enough to separate the mother and pup.
I sprinkle a little rooting hormone on the pup and main stem.
This method for me seems less stressful for the pup because not many roots are disturbed and it is already potted and split.
Then in the spring the pup is ready.
This is how I do it
