The ideal time to repot any orchid is just when new roots are emerging from the base of the plant.
It may set the flowering back if you repot it now, but if you think the current potting medium is putting the plant at risk, you may not have a choice but to repot. Better to risk a few blossoms than the entire plant.
However, if you can find a way to "baby" it until it gets to the "new roots" stage, it might be the best of both worlds. For example, rather than soaking the moss, try setting the pot in a shallow tray, and add water to that. the moisture will be wicked up to the root system without saturating the moss.
Yeah - maybe a bit of a pain compared to your regular methods, but you'll get there after enjoying the show!
