I would say yes and no to Hoyas liking to be rootbound.

I had two large Hoyas that had grown till they were unmanageable. I could not even want to repot although both needed it sorely.

They bloomed extensively with like excess care although I did find they needed far more water because they were rootbound. They tended to shed a few leaves that would turn yellow and drop if I let them get too dry.

I can't find a quick photo of both together but they were the same size and type. This is just one of them. They were over 20 years old.

A little fuzzy but you can see the size and profile...
