It is fine to hoe bindweed except in wet weather when the hoed pieces might root again before they dry out. Of course removing with a trowel, to weaken parent roots, is the best option (because of removing more root) but takes longer.
If its enough to strangle the canes, you have a problem! I know no answer except repeated pulling, or plant a new raspberry bed in cleaner soil, if you have any.
