howdy,
i am growing my bananas indoors as well. in my experience, they seem to be able to grow quite well without changing to a larger pot very often. i usually change the pot size if i see roots growing out the bottom hole, but even then, they were still growing well.

i just ordered some 20 gallon smart pots. i am growing the plants in coco, rockwool and hydroton growing media. i figured with this combination along with the nutrients i feed them, i will not have to have a gigantic pot to grow them to maturity. this is just a guess though and i will just see what happens as they grow.
