Nuc getting full…to hive or not

I’ve got a five frame nuc that is probably going to be filling the box within the next couple of weeks. Do I just leave it as it is until next spring or do I need to think about hiving it?

I would give it eight frames in a dummied down hive.

put in a hive, feed and see what happens in a few weeks. If they are strong, will probably fill the hive out for winter. If not dummy down
