Foliage and Root Prune in One Go

I have a Squamata that I've just given a rough styling, removing about 1/3 of the foliage. It's very healthy so would it be OK to prune the roots by half and transfer it to a Bonsai pot?

I've done that a number of times with other junipers without any problem. Young, healthy trees can tolerate things that older trees will not. Squamata is also pretty resilient so should come through OK.

Ive done this plenty of times with squats over the last few years and they all coped well.
