will it work with a Pcie to Thunderbolt 3 sold by Sonnet ?

I'm not sure I have heard of anyone trying it, but I doubt it. At least not with some major tinkering. There is a Nvidia alpine ridge thunderbolt card that some people have managed to get working with the 2010 Mac Pro... but it takes some pretty hefty software hacking under the hood of OSX.

Your best bet for extra PCIe slots with a 2010 Mac Pro is probably still a Magma ExpressBox4 or ExpressBox7 if you can find them.

I would get a magma pcie expansion. the EB7. I don't think you can get the TB pcie cards to work on a macpro 51
