I only played during classic and I don't remember root ever being reliable. I was constantly on edge for root breaks and used snares whenever possible. Played shaman/necro and never even heard of anyone being able to keep 6-8 blues rooted at once, debuffed or not.
I remember barely getting to max spell casting range before most roots broke and not using the higher level roots because they would break just as easily for more mana.

Correct, if you were using root it was very unreliable. Root was mostly used if you were going to DD stuff down as the mana cost was low due, cast time was fast but it had a short duration and low spell level. Once you reached the level that you could use Paralyzing Earth it was easy going for classes that could root/rot. The mana cost was high and the cast time was long but the duration was significant. Early guides mention that Paralyzing Earth had a lower resist level vs blues and usually lasted full duration. Paralyzing Earth was also a main source of CC due to the lack of people that played enchanters back in the day.
