Clivias do VERY well even when ridiculously root bound!
You can just leave them as is.
At least you will get some bloom from some of the stems.

Believe it or not--when I first got my Clivia from a friend, it was in a 12" pot
and was in full bloom. It had been in this pot for 30 years. Never fertilized--
and seldom watered. It had belonged to my friend's Mom.

When I divided it--a MAJOR effort to even get them out of the pot--I ended up
with 12 new plants. It is hard to believe how they all fit in the original pot!

I potted each up and that is where all the ones I shared with you all came from.

1--original gifted plant
2--some of the divisions
3--all divisions potted up.

Can you believe that 12 of these divisions caame from that one pot?
talk about rootbound!
