I was concerned about that too at first, but when testing learned that
you can have both.  It will show you √ after typing "\sqrt", but it
still shows that the completion can continue in the minibuffer.  You
can then just enter "[3]" to replace the √ with ∛.

To be honest, the only surprise here was how smooth and intuitive it
all was.  You should give it a try.  :-)
