I don't really understand why you think Mavericks would be so great. It's also really old and unsupported, like Lion.
Have you considered making the dual boot permanent? I know a lot of us find great advantages in having one boot partition for PT work, and one for everything else. With SSD's, switching between them is under a minute.
I have a 3.1 Harpertown too. I have a SSD with one partition with OSX 10.6.8 and PT10, and one with Sierra. (Sierra won't install on Harpertowns but there's an easy workaround.)
This means that the PT disk is tailored for stability and I can muck around with the Sierra part as much as I want without worrying about breaking PT. The 4 core 2.8 Harpertown runs Sierra beautifully, by the way. I really feel that my ten year old mac has been given a new life with this configuration. I expect it to last several more years.
