Some of the leaves are yellow on the edges.

Yellowing leaves can indicate a rootbound plant. It also can indicate too much fertilizer, overwatering, nutrient issue, or insect problem, so check for those, too.
I think it will be fine if you want to repot. Remove the yellow leaves and just go up one pot size.
