I'd at least wait for the fine bark from whatever source works for you. Just keep the plant on the dryish side, and maybe pour some hydrogen peroxide thru the pot if you don't like the smell. Repotting is best when there are new growths and the new growths are starting to root. Otherwise, you need to be very careful not to damage the old roots. When repotting at the first sign of roots from the new growths, damage to the roots will not be very important.
