You obviously have done a lot of research already. I just transplanted some from a friend's yard and learned a lesson too late. Mine will be fine, but right now, I may lose all the leaves.

Keep the roots wet. When you dig it up or whatever, get moisture on the roots and keep them moist all the way to putting it in the ground.

I got two clumps that were about 12 feet and one about 15 feet. It was an interesting trick to drive that anywhere! But the stuff I really wanted was 3 inches in diameter and over 20 feet tall! No way to get that in the Pathfinder and drive it across town! I just hope what I have survives and spreads right and gets that big so I can begin to harvest it.
