I repotted all my Cephs last week because they are still affected by the root mealies. The plants were removed, sprayed with contact insecticide, rinsed, soaked in systemic pesticide and potted up. Other than the loss of 1-2 leaves or pitchers, they have begin to put up growth within a week. The catch is, all my plants already have rhizomes at least an inch long. And the thickness is about 1/2 to 1 cm. They are cuttings which are 1-2 years old.

YG's Cephs are likely to be from TC. I am not sure if they will have a good strong rhizome. From what I have seen with the TC plants I had earlier, the base is a lot of thin roots instead. So repotting is a real risk. What I would suggest is to remove the top layer of sphagnum moss and replace it with peat/sand. That would keep the crown drier without upsetting the roots as well as cutting back on any infection as the moss is the cheap one from China which may have all sorts of mould.
