Shirts/moss are used to keep the soil moist longer in dry environments, or to trick a tree into thinking its deeper in the ground. Its a good idea to use that technique on a tree moved from the field into a pot. Its also good if you are not going to be around in time to water, as it will extend the window. Otherwise, no need for it.
Mycorrhizae supplement is not needed. It should produce on its own, as needed, in a healthy environment. People use it on pines to speed up the recovery process following repotting, but it will produce on its own in due time.
If you water and feed properly you don't need soil, period. You can bareroot a maple and grow it with no soil under a misting system.
If you want to focus on the roots then put this tree in a smaller pot.
