mj plants will flower from seed, or after three years of vegging or anything in between or after. The choice to do so indoors is yours.
Depending on your space, grow habits, resources you get to decide. Only you know, so get on with it

But in your personal experience is it vegged enough for a decent yield or would it be more productive to prolong veg or simply flower this girl out and quicly follow up with clones in its place?

that would depend on your subjective definition of "decent" I guess. you could take clones now even.
I flower when a spot in the room opens up in my perpetual grow. I could give two chits how big the plant is, I top it to 18in over and over till flowered.

I've seen plants veg a year to give up a couple oz, and plants vegged a couple weeks give up 8oz. So.....

I like 1-3 month veg

I just realized a better response: flower when the roots are ready.

That means when the roots have grown to the point that the container becomes dry in a couple days. Nothing worse than watering 1 time per week in flower.. I like the plants to want water nearly every day to get the best results, for me.

I don't like having to water 2x a day but during week 5&6 it's not uncommon and provided you are around to do it and they are dry you'll be able to get really good results.

Nothing worse than soggy roots and the problems that go with it. (Bugs, rot, low yield)
