To remove the soil here I think would damage these roots...but then I am far from experienced

Old soil requires replenishment for the health of the tree, especially at the crown. If it has been 20 years without replacement it is undoubtedly very compacted and dense. You can work slowly do the work piecemeal over a number of repottings, but that moss problem is a symptom with a definite cause.
Good luck!
