Of course taking guidance for all you pros. :-)
I don’t know your microclimate, but assume you will be fine without cutting and winterizing the pseudostem.
Probably you will have a bunch of pups before the winter. A thought is to pot those up as a backup and let the main plant be. If necessary, you can try to wrap the main plant in Agribon frost cloth, but overall trimming it without a severe threat of cold damage will make it harder to recover in the spring.
