Thanks for the insight people!
I know it’s not the ideal home plant, but the objective was to have some fun with kitchen leftover and that seems a success so far.
I don’t need it to be a perfect little bush just controlled as much as realistically possible.
I won’t put it in a bigger pot for now. I’d rather root prune to avoid a tangle. And then I guess stop overthinking, give less water and just clip the top when it gets too high.

Regarding kitchen leftover I’ve found that ginger and turmeric make great house plants. Not sure about lifespan though, but I think the roots will keep sprouting even though the plants die.

You will end up with a 4 meter flaccid plant thing in the corner of your living room that you'll by then have gotten too emotionally attached to to throw it away - reminding you every day what a shit decision it was to "have some fun" with kitchen leftover - but then it'll be too late. When you'll move house that'll be the last chance to rid the fucking thing, yet you might not have the will power do push through.

Good luck!

I too have some 'kitchen leftover ' Ginger and Turmeric but they weren't leftovers - bought for growing and doing well but you are right , they have got too big now and can't go outside so a pain to find somewhere for them indoors.
