I don't transplant autos, and I almost always stick to plastic pots like you do until final homes in cloth for photos, but for the times I have had to move plants from cloth to cloth, I do pull the bags down around a bucket (as seen here). But whether you do it my way or the velcro way, you will still be tearing off the air-pruned roots even with a velcro pot.
But those roots are already dead from air pruning, so there's not harm to the living roots.
