Don't worry about getting root bound in coco. Nor worry about overwatering. In fact, a lot (including myself) agree that the more dense the root structure the better yields you can achieve in coco. The more dense the root structure becomes, the more often you can feed as well. For instance, this run I haven't moved from solo cups at all. Rooted in the same container they're going to be harvested from. The transplant with the layers wouldn't be difficult. If I followed his post correctly, he's essentially setting it up as a hempy pot without the 2 inches of perlite in the bottom and instead uses chips or similar texture coco. Actually sounds like a good thing to do, if you can swing the funds.
The two biggest reasons I use coco coir are these: 1) It's cheap and available at a variety of stores. 2) It's versatile and flexible. Imo no other medium offers you so many options and so much control over how your medium functions. A cherry on top is the fact you get beautiful, frosty almost organic looking flowers with the weight nearly equal to hydro and in some cases in excess of a hydro yield.
