If your graft stock is dormant, I wouldn’t risk it. I say that not from experience grafting to dormant stock, but, I’ve failed plenty trying to graft to some older stock, so I’d suggest sticking to soft, fresh, active growth. Particularly if it’s your only scion of that type.

I would root that now. stick her in some soil. it will root just fine. Then come growing season chop the top ~1" off and graft it. then by the end of next season you'll have a pup or 2 off your original cutting which can be grafted and so on and so on.
This way you give yourself more chances of success with your overpriced addition

Trichocereus probably won't take very well in the winter unless its actively growing. If its dormant, its unlikely to do much of anything, even if it did take. Best best option is to root the pup and have some patience, or use it as an excuse to buy a bigger cutting.
I grafted seedlings to some dormant Pereskiopsis and it took them a lot longer to show new growth. I'm still grafting seedlings through the winter but I pick actively growing Pereskiopsis and pass up the dormant ones, its working out a lot better. I did graft one Trichocereus top to another right before winter and it appears to have taken but its dormant and probably won't do anything until March/May, it was an act of necessity to save the specimen from disease, otherwise I would have rooted it.
TL;DR, rooting the pup is the best option. It will easily double or triple in size if you treat it well.

For grafts as a rule i think both ends should be growing actively.
Babylon's plan seems solid, i wouldn't jump the gun on it esp since its not exactly a small bit of cactus to boost. Root it.

dormant stock just dont work out. either put the stock in a grow tent and get it going again or wait till it starts in spring. you can graft to unrooted stock but not dormant.

i once grafted s grandiflorus to s validus during winter and it took but took long to grew after, started to grow a few months after, that cut should be able to easily survive until spring, just put it in a cold place that is above freezing

You can graft to Trichocereus rootstock when they're dormant. Just make sure that both specimens are plump and not dehydrated.
You wont see any growth until favourable conditons arrive and they come out of dormancy.
My 2 cents....
