I successfully repotted a threatened phal in commercial orchid mix: should the roots be exposed, or covered with mix, at the crown of the remaining stem?

I have always repotted making sure the actual crown is at the surface of the new mix.

Some roots around the crown are ok to be "arial" roots. Depends how high up they are.
