Although using a Sawzall with a 12" blade takes a fair bit of time, and you will go through quite a few blades with a large tree, it definitely gets the job done. A lot of dirt on the blade will blunt it fairly quickly, so hosing the dirt off the roots once in a while helps with that. I don't understand what you mean by "The ground is going to bend your saw blade". If your saw blade is in the ground you're doing it wrong. Use a pickaxe to clear away dirt around the root before sawing.
The 5.0 ah battery doesn't last too long when cutting tree roots, but by the time it dies you're probably ready for a break anyway.
Milwaukee blades definitely last longer than the cheap ones from Amazon when cutting tree roots with a Sawzall, though even very blunt blades work fine on smallish tree roots. I have never evaluated whether using cheap blades on tree roots works out cheaper overall.
And as for the Sawzall in the OP? It's an absolute beast, and tolerates abuse with complete indifference.
