I recently repotted my golden pothos and neon pothos due to them outgrowing their previous pots, and I did this just yesterday. I switched them from their original plastic nursery pots to ceramic ones with drainage holes, but the saucers are attached and not removable. I'm worried about root rot because the water can't fully drain out of the saucers like it did with the plastic pots. I want to know if it's a good idea to repot them again into pots that have better drainage, but I'm concerned I might hurt them since they were just moved.

Pothos plants are pretty tough, so they can handle being repotted again without much trouble. Unlike some more delicate plants, they can bounce back from having their roots disturbed. As for your pots, if they have drainage holes and any excess water can escape, you should be fine! Just keep an eye on the saucer; if it gets too full, you might want to change pots eventually.
Here's a picture of my similar pot setup. It has a drainage hole, but the saucer is fixed. I let it drain thoroughly, and as long as the saucer doesn't overflow, my plants are doing fine!
