Would this be acceptable? I thought it would have the benefit of keeping things quieted from the vibrations.

Yeah that will definitely work. Having a section of any flexible tubing in the return line helps separate the vibrations from the pump to the rigid plumbing. I'm not sure what your setup looks like, but you may consider flexible PVC instead of rigid PVC after it converts. The flexible stuff will allow you to open up the radius of each bend (a curved piece of pvc vs a 90 degree hard elbow). The smoother radius turns of the flexible PVC will help with flow from the return pump vs rigid PVC elbows.
Good luck and post some pics of your plumbing if you can. We'd love to see it.
